life with limits

Everything from a ketchup bottle to the love of your life comes with an expiry date…. and the things that do not, come with a lot of “*conditions apply” like an insurance policy and you will never really understand those conditions but you think, how hard can it be? And once you’ve bought the policy, then the severity of the conditions hits you from the directions you least expect to!

In any kind of relationship, we cannot expect anything unlimited and more importantly, should not give anything unlimited because just like the unlimited resources that earth gives us are being exploited, our unlimited love and care will also be exploited without bounds, and there won’t be any star marks there.

Now that we know there are limits, the next important thing to do is, TEST those limits! how far can you go for that person and also, how far that person can go for u and always alter your limits to the limits of the other person.

There is a limit to the amount of love, care, attention, respect and everything else that you give to a loved one and that limit is the amount that they give you in return. Never give anything extra because the things given without asking do not have any appreciation

It’s a known fact that in a relationship, the power always lies with the person who cares less. I’m not asking you to care less and keep the power. All I’m saying is to care the exact same amount as the other person does and to not give the power to them. Because nearly everybody can stand adversity, but if you want to test a person’s character, give them power. There is not a person in the world who hasn’t abused power. Never ever give even an ounce of power over you to another person.

Draw boundaries, limit yourself…..be self sufficient, always appreciate the love that comes your way, don’t give too much importance to the love that you are expecting from others and love yourself so much that when that expected love is not coming your way…you still have enough love left for yourself….after all love is the elixir that is keeping us all alive.
