Quando as pessoas te mostram as suas fronteiras dizendo-te, por exemplo, que não podem fazer determinada coisa que lhe estás a pedir, sentes-te rejeitado. Não consegues aceitar que outros não fazem por ti tudo o que esperas deles. Desejas um amor ilimitado, um carinho ilimitado, uma doação ilimitada. Parte do teu conflito consiste em estabelecer limites ao teu próprio amor - algo que nunca fizeste. Dás tudo o que os outros te pedem, e quando exigem mais tu dás mais, até te sentires exausto, usado e manipulado. Só quando fores capaz de estabelecer os teus próprios limites serás capaz de reconhecer, respeitar e até mesmo agradecer os limites dos outros. Na presença das pessoas que amas, as tuas necessidades crescem cada vez mais, até que essas pessoas se sintam de tal modo esmagadas pelas tuas necessidades que sejam praticamente forçadas a deixar-te, para conseguirem sobreviver. A grande tarefa consiste em assumires-te a ti mesmo, de modo a restrinjas as tuas necessidades dentro dos limites de ti próprio e sejas capaz de as dominar na presença dos que amas. No amor, a verdadeira reciprocidade requer pessoas que são senhoras de si mesmas e capazes de se darem umas às outras mantendo a sua própria identidade. Por conseguinte, quer para que possas dar com mais eficiência quer para que sejas mais disciplinado nas tuas necessidades, deves aprender a estabelecer limites ao teu amor.

October TBR is day 1 of both #octshelfawareness and #lifelovereadoct18 📚 It’s probably a little ambitious, but this is my TBR pile for October. One is a textbook, one is review copy, and the rest are for fun! My reading needs a kickstart. It’s been a slow reading year so far. 📚 #octshelfawareness #lifelovereadoct18 #bookaddict #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #instabooks #octoberphotochallenge #joannagoodman #thehomeforunwantedgirls #denisedombkowskihopkins #michaelskoppel #groundedinthelivingword #susinnielsen #nofixedaddress #scarvossogauntlett #daniellestrickland #challengingevil #henrijmnouwen #makingallthingsnew #contentment #keithbanks #kenko #acupofsakebeneaththecherrytrees #tbr #octobertbr https://www.instagram.com/p/Boaa1EkFoMI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fxxm9zt5ohl8

“Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines.”  ― Henri J.M.

“We have to choose joy and keep choosing it. - Henri J.M. Nowen It’s so hard to get a pic of our industrial panel chalkboard The mister made for me. Been trying to get better with lettering just because I enjoy being creative. I have a ways to go, but I’ll enjoy he process esp when a friend says they will come over and practice with me. #henrijmnouwen #chalkart #lettering #practicepracticepractice #beingcreative #creativeliving #thecreativelife #choosejoy #intentionalliving #salvagemoments #salvagesister #repurpose #habitatforhumanityrestore http://bit.ly/2Fe1fZC

Intimacy between people requires closeness as well as distance. It is like dancing. Sometimes we are very close, touching each other or holding each other; sometimes we move away from each other and let the space between us become an area where we can freely move. To keep the right balance between closeness and distance requires hard work, especially since the needs of the partners may be quite different at a given moment. One might desire closeness while the other wants distance. One might want to be held while the other looks for independence. A perfect balance seldom occurs, but the honest and open search for that balance can give birth to a beautiful dance, worthy to behold.

“As long as we continue to live as if we are what we do, what we have, and what other people think about us, we will remain filled with judgments, opinions, evaluations, and condemnations. We will remain addicted to putting people and things in their "right" place.” - Henri J.M. Nouwen #deauxboy #boymeetsworld #deadstockpizzeria #henrijmnouwen

"We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked #Piglet. Even longer,' #Pooh answered." #AAMILNE "When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." #henrijmnouwen #lifelong #truefriends #friendship #friends #empathy #inspiration #throughthefire #real #lashaunprice #kumarisuraj #ironsharpensiron #didntmissabeat #desigirlworldtour #portland #weneedmatchingtattoosatthispoint lol @itslashaun + @kumarisuraj = #bunzntiggies para siempre ❤️
