“You are not a source of energy for others to take. This is your table, you set the standards and you choose who gets a seat. Start turning away people who have the audacity to show up in your life with crumbs, because crumbs can’t feed you. Find someone who brings you a whole cake.”

“Does this person value your time? Time is another important boundary and a real eye-opener when it comes to how people value their relationship with you.

You are being used for your energy! Don’t give any time to people who don’t have time for you.”
