Developing Boundaries Around Your Life -pt1

Sompeople call it constraints. Others call it restraints. Boundaries are personal limitations you put on yourself because of a particular goal you have in mind to achieve. Boundaries are personal barriers you put on your own way so you don’t go off track.

One of the problems every teenager and people in general have been the problem of freedom. Don’t get me wrong, freedom is a beautiful experience but if your freedom is not checked, you will do everything your mind suggests to you and go wherever your leg takes you. This can be dangerous to your growth and development.

As important as freedom is, without restraint or boundaries, you are bound to suffer casualties in this marathon called, life. Boundaries are therefore your own self-imposed restrictions to prevent you from going off track.

I want to share with you, areas of life that you can have boundaries for maximum productivity in life.

The first is, boundaries around your THOUGHTS. Let me be frank with you. The sum total of the outcome of your life will be as a result of your thought pattern. Your thoughts determine the actions you take and the actions you take determine the outcome of your life

Our thoughts are so sensitive to the environment around you. To the extent that it magnetizes information into our minds for processing.

Having explained thus far, how do you set boundaries around your thoughts?  You do this by deciding the kind you things you think about. You have to deliberately choose your thoughts and decide on things you can think about.

If a thought comes to you and does not correspond to the goals of your life, please cast it down. Don’t brood over them. This is your responsibility!

Secondly build boundaries around your TIME. Do you know why the ages of people are written on their posters when they die?  It is written to tell everybody that this is amount of time he or she spent on earth. The sum total of your life is the time you spent on earth. That is why he who cannot put boundaries around his time will definitely waste his life.

If you will enjoy old age, then please guard your time. Has it ever occurred to you why others succeed and others fail? Most times it is due to the way they manage their time.

As young people, you have abundance of time. You don’t have too many responsibilities. This is the best season of your life to maximize your time and get the best of life. Plan your time and feed your time with healthy activities that will make you grow. This is one of the best advice you can ever receive from me.

Many years ago, I learnt about the power of a TO DO LIST. To tell you the truth, it helped me a great deal during that phase of my life.

The next boundary I want you to have, is the boundary over your TONGUE. This is one of the very important principles that can take you far. Listen, your tongue can take you far or take you down.

One day, I used my tongue in a negative way. I made a careless statement about a respected person. I was only joking but the people who heard me make the careless statement did not take it kindly with me. They had a lot of respect for me but since then, they drew back from me and I noticed it.

Your tongue is a gateway to your life. Be careful WHAT you say. Be careful WHERE you talk and be careful WHO you talk to. Life and death reside in your tongue. The tongue can kill. The tongue can give life. Choose one. I hope you are getting something from this writing.

In this article I touched on your THOUGHTS, your TIME and your TONGUE.  In the second part. I will talk about building boundaries around your TALENT, your TREASURE, and your TERRITORY.

My desire is to help you become a better version of yourself. I am praying for you and I wish you well.

For the love of God, society and young people

Blessings
