I think it’s important to keep your personal life to yourself as much as you can. It protects your sanity and you need to have boundaries. And it helps that enchantment of watching an actor. If you know someone’s favourite colour or what they like to do on a Sunday, you won’t fall for the character as much. Dianna Agron
Weekly Photo Challenge: BOUNDARIES Boundaries exist to keep things in/out and contained. They exist everywhere; we have mountains, bodies of water, rock formations and all types of natural boundaries. Then we have bridges, fences, walls and other man made boundaries. They all serve a purpose that can help us or hurt us. Like everything in life, we can use our boundaries to control our urges and uplift others or we can exploit them for selfish and harmful reasons. Come back later for a MESH selection.

And this is one of the major questions of our lives: how we keep boundaries, what permission we have to cross boundaries, and how we do so. A. B. Yehoshua
Our computers have become windows through which we can gaze upon a world that is virtually without horizons or boundaries. Joseph B. Wirthlin
I love Edwin Cole’s quote above because it reminds us of the value of setting personal boundaries and respecting existing boundaries. In a world where there are those who focus on their own selfish or sick desires, we need even more reminders that boundaries protect life and that is imperative. What do you think?

People truly reaching across boundaries – be they religious or race, political or geographic. A state that is sincerely civil and respectful of each individual’s pathway toward life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be our goal. Jon Huntsman, Jr.
We need to spend time reflecting on the violence in our world and how we can heal and create healthy boundaries that protect and help people. My heart felt condolences go out to the families of those lost and hurt in Oregon. I wish all a restful and peaceful weekend. Enjoy the photos and hug your loved ones. Have a Happy Weekend!

A very interesting post, we do need to set healthy boundaries and respect boundaries but sometimes I’m guilty of setting my boundaries too high and not letting loved ones get close. You’ve got me thinking x
I like the pictures. I also very much like the quote by Mr. Huntsman, Jr.
Taking pictures of different subjects is one of my past times. I am thrilled of taking shot of nature, objects, persons or anything as far as eyes can see. – Gil Camporazo
I’m saddened by the recent murders, but it seems to be happening so frequently that people aren’t paying attention much anymore.
I love your insights for this challenge and your photos are beautiful too. That quote by Diana definite as some truth to it.
Beautiful photos. I need strict boundaries with my family.
“Boundaries are to protect life, not to limit pleasures”. I couldn’t agree more to this quote. This reminded me so much about the things I wasn’t able to do growing up, and the things that I still can’t do up to now. Sometimes, it’s hard to understand why those boundaries were made, especially if its something you really really want to have. But I just have to trust and be reminded that all these are for something I will be grateful for, years from now.
Boundaries are a good thing! They keep us from doing and saying things that are regretted later.
Boundaries or limits, I think of them more like safeguards. I found out the other day the time spent away from my 3 kids can only last up to 6 hours tops. That’s my limit or I’d go crazy from worry, guess it means no more days out without them for me.
As a parent, my kids try to test my patience every single day with their explorations and antics to what’s unknown to them. Setting clear boundaries for each of them is of utter importance in their everyday life.
A recurrent issue when working with clients!
I agree… Send love and support others… Stop hurting anybody. My heart goes out to those in Oregon
Love this…in fact I loved it so much I am now a follower and re blogged it. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I love your blog too. 🙂
Boundaries. One thing we need to learn is setting boundaries and margins. Sometimes we push ourselves too hard or too thin… wallls are crossed and then things get messy. I guess boundaries exist for a reason… we should all learn to respect it 🙂
There are boundaries, and boundaries, and while some may seem to stop us more easily interact with others, others protect us. And, let’s admit it, we all have personal boundaries, and we do not like others to cross them:)
These are amazing photos that goes beyond the meaning of boundaries. I love the quotes that you incorporated as well!
Reblogged this
I love all the photos! I might have to try one of these challenges! It really makes you take a look around.
The word boundaries means differently for some people and I meant it in general. Looking back with our lives, these boundaries will put forward into the very own facets.
The art and science of creating personal boundaries came to me “later” in life, after crashing and crushing other people’s! 🙁 Now, I am such a defender of my boundaries and mindful of other people’s like there is no tomorrow! Great post. 🙂
I am so upset with the senseless loss of lives once again, My prayers go out to their families
Our geese are already leaving for the year! Have to get some more photos before they’re all gone!
So important to set boundaries. Love that first quote about the setting of boundaries as an act of self love, not a means to disappoint others.
I wish there was a way to end violence in the world but unfortunately not everyone works the same with those thoughts.
As much as we think that we can do anything we life, setting boundaries is also important to help us stay focused on our goals. It’s also nice to reflect on our doings once in a while.
This part really stuck with me “Boundaries exist to keep things in/out and contained.” I really like the physical boundaries and pictures portrayed. Healthy boundaries are also so important in relationships and life. Great post as always!
Boundaries for me are only limitations set by our own minds. If we set our hearts on our goals, there is nothing that can keep us from reaching it.
I think learning and establishing our personal boundaries is so important!
nice photos to compliment another good post. Boundaries is synonymous with limitations. It is Nature’s way to say ” This is all you can do or go”.
I love the quote about Boundaries being a protector of life and not to limit pleasures. It’s just seeing things in a positive way rather than feeling negative about things all the time.
It’s so important to set boundaries in every day life. You picked a great selection of photos for this photo challenge.
The Taconic Highway picture is absolutely beautiful. I agree we all need to stand-up to create healthy boundaries to protect & help people, after all humanity is all about helping each other.
Oh how gorgeous! These pictures give me the travel bug, if school would be out right now I would pack up my car and just take a drive with my kiddo!
Different people react to boundaries differently. Some want to challenge and go beyond, some kept to it, some avoid it. All these reaction also tells us the personality of these people
Enjoyed your quotes with these great pics of boundaries!
Boundaries of all sorts are super important. Especially, when it comes to relationships.
True… ;- )
Great post!!! Boundaries definitely help you in all parts of life. They keep us in check 😉
I like how landscape artists can manage to make fences look good with the view. If not only for safety issues, I like fences where you can see inside. – Fred
Hahaha! I was thinking the same thing… nature is the best artist.
It’s sometimes hard to set boundaries when you blog. Obviously, you don’t want to share everything, but you also want to be honest.
I believe we should be honest with our writing and only write things we can discuss honestly. That said, I feel that we don’t have to write about everything. So, some topics are just not discussed because to talk about them means crossing a boundary that affects others… I just don’t write about certain topics.
Boundaries are definitely important. I think in this day and age of social media, people easily forget that.
yes we are for self-preservation…and that is setting boundaries
I like the quote on boundaries are there to protect life instead of limiting it. There are reasons why there are boundaries because sometimes we need to push ourselves further to be strong enough to go past the boundaries.
I totally agree. The same reasons rules are important for kids – so they would feel secured in their exploration.
I believe there are parts of our lives that should be kept private, and parts of them that we can openly share with others, which creates relationships. The sharing creates relationships, and not just associate-ships. Boundaries are definitely important – they create a safety zone in which a person has a certain measure of protection from hurt and harm.
I need to be better about settings work and life balance. As a freelance journalist it can be hard to turn down assignments even when I know I should.
Setting boundaries makes us feel secure. It’s one factor of self-discipline.
Mhar Sefcik
I try my best to keep my personal life within my closest circle of friends. But sometimes I vent out on social media like FB which is sooooo wrong.
Boundaries is important. There are times that we have to say, that’s it, that’s all I can do.
The importance of setting boundaries is I think no longer valued by today’s generation. Almost everything is shared through the internet.
I think we all have boundaries. Sometimes it is necessary to jump over them and enjoy life.
There is always 2 sides of a stories, it depends on how we interpret boundaries. There are rules and regulations to set the boundaries for us, like the dos and the don’ts. Another side is there are no boundaries to dreams, achievements and possibilities in life as long as we go for it.
Really enjoy these lovely post and motivational guidances.
Thank you for checking in. Appreciated.
