I’ve read most of Thich Nhat Hahn’s books. He is the Vietnamese Buddhist Monk who was banned from ever going back to his country because of his stand against the Vietnamese War.

The book also addresses what can set us free.

Boundaries are essential to helping us identify who we are, what’s important to us and how we want to live our lives.  Without them, other people will decide these things for us.

The call came at 8:10 in the morning.  “Mom, I forgot my baseball stuff in the car. Can you please bring it to me now??  My teenager had spent the night with his friend and inadvertently forgot to prepare himself for the baseball summer camp he was helping with in the morning.  His baseball glove, shoes, and camp T-shirt were left at home and camp started in five minutes.  Initially, I was irritated because I knew he wanted me to drop everything I was doing and bail him out of his predicament.  That irritation prompted the lecture he received about responsibility.  But then I realized I had a choice, and I had the power.  I needed to decide what my boundaries were.

Few people going through a messy divorce in mid-life would blame their own parents for their predicament. Neither would a business owner betrayed by a trusted partner normally think in those terms.  A person who loses his job every five years would also not say that his grandfather was to blame. 

Yet there may be some justification for people making just such an accusation, even about the most loving and dedicated parents, step parents or grandparents.  Because, the fact is, much of what happens to people in their adult life has a connection to unhealed childhood wounds inflicted by their parents.

Is the meaning of this article’s title clear to you? If yes, terrific; if not, you’ll appreciate some tips to assist you to not only understand it but put it into practice.

What often happens to us is if we experience something once, we project that experience onto similar experiences . . . before they happen. We hear comments from people like, “Oh, I KNOW how THIS is going to go,? before it happens. Maybe we hear, “I said it would go like this,? or “I knew this would happen.? And the connection between anticipating a result and experiencing it is seldom or never made by the person.
