-Jerry West
When thinking about when is enough, enough- you can apply the question to many areas of your life. Being that I talk to a lot of people dealing with many different "issues," it typically comes down to the fact that whatever it is they're dealing with they've had enough of it and want it to go away.
When it gets bad enough is when you will begin to make some changes. Have you had enough heartache and pain? Are you tired of being in debt or overweight? Are you sick of putting up with the way someone treats you? Have you had enough of toxic people? Can you take another minute of putting yourself down? And, are you sick and tired of being sick and tired and you want to be happy?
When the pain of putting up with being miserable and continuing to do nothing about it becomes greater than the pain of the unknown, or stepping out of your box, or actually doing something to change is when you will choose to end the madness that has you imprisoned.
The truth is you are the only one who has the key to unlock your cell door and free yourself from not getting whatever it is you want from life. It's all about decisions, commitment, boundaries and actions. You make a decision about what it is you want to change. Then you commit yourself to doing what you need to do in order to experience what you want to experience.
Next, you either eliminate or set boundaries with the people who are toxic in your life, who suck your energy and who take advantage of you. If someone disrespects your needs, if they disregard your feelings or if they are only interested in one thing-themselves, what good is it to have them in your life?
I hear this a lot when discussing how one partner treats the other. They yell at them, talk down to them, they rarely validate their needs and they simply make them feel bad, most of the time. When you think about it, who else do you know that yells at you? Who do you hang out with that puts you down? And, how long would you be friends with someone who couldn't care less about how you feel?
Typically the answer is no one else treats you like that and you would never put up with it from anyone else. There isn't another person you know who actually treats you in this manner yet you put up with it from the one person that is supposed to love you more than anyone else!
If that's the case, and if you want to be happy or have some self-respect, it's called setting boundaries. Or, if need be it's about making decisions that you've had enough and then do something about it, and that is called taking action.
Whether you've had enough debt, hurt, self-loathing or whatever it is that you're done with, decide what you are willing to do about it. Love yourself enough to take care of yourself and make a commitment to take action to change it. What are you willing to do to have what you want?
Really think about that. What is it that you are willing to give up, who are you willing to let go of, what feelings and habits are you willing to let go of, what are you willing to commit to and what changes are you willing to make to be happy?
When you have the answers to those questions you and you do something about it that will be the key that sets you free!
