Laws are indisputable facts.
Cannot be argued against.
Law of gravity works no matter if you are it exists or not...
Law #1: Sowing and Reaping = cause and affect
Law #2: Law of Responsibility = responsible for/to
Law #3: Law of Power = I only have power over me!
Law #4: Law of Respect = I must respect others “no”!
Law #5: Law of Motivation = Why am I doing what I am doing?
Law #6: Law of Evaluation
Evaluate the pain that your boundaries cause other people.
Evaluate the pain your lack of boundaries cause other people.
Does my no hurt?
No one likes to be told no!
How many got up this morning and thought, I can’t wait till my spouse tells me no!
My boss, kids, coworker
What was law # 4? Law of Respect - I have to respect other people no.
Saying and hearing “no” brings pain!
Pain of disappointment
Pain of frustration
Pain of lack of support
How evil does a person have go be to withhold support?
There are those that have a dependent personality disorder.
Their existence depends on your involvement in your life.
Example:
talking to someone on the phone for 10 minutes and they say, you only have 10 minutes for me today?
talk to the same person for an hour and they say, you only have an hour for me today?
Your support of them going into the second hour is trespassing!
They are Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh...
Winnie the Pooh is a phycological wonder that many people can find themselves in!
Pooh: eating disorder
Piglet: anxiety disorder
Tigger: ADHD
Eeyore: depressive disorder
Owl: Narcissistic
Christopher Robinson: schizophrenic
How do I know how to respond?
Question: Am I causing them harm (damage)?
Harm vs. hurt
Harm = lasting damage
Hurt = quick recovery, momentary
Clarity comes with this law when you ask yourself, Am I hurting that person or harming them?
Illustration:
Dentist - major pain, horrid sounds, disgusting smells, grinding and pulling teeth, cutting, scrapping, blood
Is he hurting you or harming you?
Pshyco torturing you - same thing.
Major pain, horrid sounds, disgusting smells, grinding and pulling teeth, cutting, scrapping, blood
Is he hurting you or harming you?
Bowl of ice cream every night, candy, not brushing and flossing your teeth…
Even though it feels good POOH, is it hurting or harming you?
Law #5 is the Law of Motivation!
Most of the time (if not ALL) healing the harm in your life WILL hurt!
Boundaries bring the pain of growth!
Law #7: Law of Proactivity vs. Reactivity
Proactive = deliberate choice
Reactive = impulsive choice
A strong boundary should NEVER be reactive!
How many has every exploded in reaction to a situation?
Common phrase:
I have had enough!
Not again!
Stop it already!
That’s a bad boundary!
Immature or Reactive boundary.
You ignored until you exploded...
A reactive boundary will have a necessary verbal explosion - tantrum.
This is a good start but it’s immature.
When you have been a slave to having no boundaries in your life your whole life you have to work very hard to establish proactive boundaries… Or the world around you will tremble!
Establishing boundaries IS A PROCESS!
Know who you are and what you stand for before you can stand against anything…
Law #8: Law of Envy
The only good in life is outside me.
Forever comparing my life to other people.
This cause me to overlook the problem in me.
Adam and Eve:
You can have anything you want, just not the fruit of this tree.
What did they do?
Immediately focused on everything they could have in the whole garden!
Man Adam, look at all this we can have...
No, they focused on the one thing they could NOT have!
ENVY!
Problem with envy is it is never good enough.
If you are lost in envy you will never set boundaries.
Someone will always be luckier, have a better job, be prettier, more fortunate...
You will never take ownership of you life!
Envy’s antidote: gratitude
Happiness is not having what you want but wanting what you have!
Paul would write from prison in Phil 4:11 that he was content!
Law #9: Law of Activity
Take initiative!
Make the first move.
Physics: Stationary vs. moving object
It take less effort to change the course of a moving object than a stationary one.
God works with you when you are moving!
Problem: most of us wait for ppl to come to us and ask us about their boundary problems…
Wait for the addict to ask if their addiction bothers them.
Wait for the control freak to come to you and say, your kind of quiet, did I hurt you?
That will not happen.
They are boundary less people.
Mat 5 - if you get to the alter and realize your brother has something against you, leave your gift and go make it right.
So if my brother is upset at something I did, I go to him
