With a strong boundary, you determine who is invited to know you more intimately and who you choose to know more intimately. As the meaning of boundary becomes more clear, it s easy to understand how a weak boundary contributes to many dysfunctional behaviors. For example, people who are willing to sacrifice something inside them, for something outside them, deplete their self-esteem and value to themselves and others. Co-dependency and addictive behaviors are examples of people with a poor boundary . Co-dependent and addictive behaviors rely on other people or things outside of themselves to achieve a sense of worthiness, validation and acceptance.
Boundary development is an on-going process of clarification, growth and change.
That s why developing a healthy boundary is so important to becoming the purest and highest sense of who we are . Unless we are able to accept who we are and have a strong personal boundary, we will forever be on the treadmill of dysfunctional living. The Final Word. I hope this commentary on boundary has been clear and helpful. I believe it is a profound piece of the puzzle for becoming an authentic person and for living a life of intention and abundance.
