I often talk about and even teach the importance of having a f*ck you position in every situation as a self-care safety-valve type of mindset. To get to the position requires someone crossing “situational” predetermined FU Line.

For the last couple of years I’ve been trying to retire from the business of being so accommodating. This has led some to think I’ve “changed” – to which I say personal growth comes with age, albeit it came a little slow for me.

I found this article very relatable to my struggles in some ways and figured it might help someone else get out of the rut of self-sacrifice.
