You can have boundaries and not even know it. Boundaries protect us. Our minds let us know when our boundaries are crossed, just like an alarm system on a house that lets the owner know something is wrong. Since we’re the owners of our minds, we can sense an impending boundary crosser and do something […]
Happiness is not a person, place, or thing. It’s a feeling. Walt Disney World is called the happiest place on earth, and when you’re there, you feel happy.
