How do we maintain a healthy boundary between ‘We’ and ‘I’? As relationships evolve (work or personal), our lives become quite inter-dependent & intertwined. So, some boundaries between ‘We’ & ‘I’ can get blurred. Unknowingly, we may sacrifice our free will, assertiveness, dreams or independence. A few emotional rules ensure that we can retain our personal power, space & freedom to explore our own potential, aspirations & abilities.
Often, there is a relentless pressure to follow the crowd. Naturally, we want to be liked, to be accepted or admired. We want to win the approval or validation from teams, groups or allies. If we simply accommodate without examining our own curiosity or intentions, we can do ourselves a massive dis-service. Each one of us has a unique purpose, passion, path & destiny.
We can accept that ‘We’ & ‘I’ can peacefully co-exist. It is okay if our preferences, mindsets, emotions, logic, goals or imaginations don’t align. We can compassionately embrace what resonates with our mind & spirit without feeling compelled to adhere. It requires real appreciation of our own inquisitiveness, inspiration & individuality. Our true identity & creativity can’t be chained. Intuitively, we know when ‘We’ ends & ‘I’ begins. Honouring it brings beautiful balance, growth, harmony, joy & fulfilment.
