warning: don’t feed the ego Who do we need to be for ourselves and then for our loved ones? Establishing limits and boundaries to be true to ourselves is a necessary thing.  Someone that sets no boundaries is feeding everyone else’s needs and not their own— which is external validation, and is ego based vs. soul based.
