[Be kind, but don't let people use you]

[Be kind, but don't let people use you]

1. Kindness is a choice, not a weakness.

Being kind is my choice, not my weakness. Don't let the other person mistake it for my weakness. Kindness is rather a sign of strength.

2. Let's be clear about the boundaries

Let's be vigilant to those who take my kindness for granted or try to take advantage of it. Kindness is not for everyone indefinitely, but for those who respect me.

3. Refusing to do so requires practice

Refusing a request can be difficult. But before I get tired, it is necessary to reject it to keep my time, or to keep me. Don't be afraid that rejection will hurt others, and let's think about the hurt you will receive if you don't. The most important thing is me. You have to take care of me first.

4. Don't forget your values

My value is set by me, not by others. Be kind, but always remember not to lower my value. My kindness is precious in itself.
