BOUNDARIES

We all need to have personal and professional boundaries; our lives will be happier that way. Jesus said, '...let your yes be yes, and your no be no' (Matthew 5:37). Others need to know that when we say "yes" we mean "yes" and when we say "no" we mean "no."

Our modern technology tends to blur the boundaries. People who use mobile phones heavily have less satisfying family lives, according to a University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee study. The culprit is the "spill-over" effect when technology blurs the boundary between work and private life. Today's round-the-clock availability is tough on family. Keep the boundaries up.
