#13 - The Parable of the White Carpet

Boundaries can be used as a weapon of manipulation. (Bad use of Boundaries)Boundaries are the rules that help me keep in what I want in my life and out of my life what I don’t want. Boundaries are an invitation NOT an expectation.The parable of the white carpetYou invite your friend to come over and see your new home. They bring your favorite drink. They arrive with mud all over their shoes and the decision is made at the threshold (boundary) Will they accept your invitation to remove their shoes and experience all that the soft white carpet has to offer on their feetORWill you allow them entry without accept your invitation to remove their shoes creating a mess of your carpet?Get your own copy of  - You Can Turn Conflict into Closeness
