Would we allow a stranger to come into our home, as we allow them to come into our minds?

As I was listening to a motivational video the other day…the above was stated and I saved it as a draft to write about.

How many times do we set boundaries in how we allow into our homes, but when people that we cross paths with have an effect on our minds goes out the door.

We limit access to people to come in our homes, but we do not set the same boundaries in who we allow to effect how we feel in a variety of ways.

I think this is something worth think about.

I realize I’m my past and recent past, I have allowed the interactions with people outside of my home, have such an impact on how my days play out. And when I heard this statement, I stopped to think about how much this could be real in my life…do I allow Strangers to take up space in my mind? I do believe that people outside of my personal circle and space have taken up space in my mind.

I wonder how many people do not set boundaries with outsiders and strangers and their effect on us?

Of course we will engage people we really do not know in positive and challenging ways, that’s life. But I do think it’s worth exploring the good with the bad and the why we react to outsiders and how long the impact effects us.

Strangers go play a role in life…

stran·ger

/ˈstrānjər/

noun

plural noun: strangers

1. a person whom one does not know or with whom one is not familiar.”don’t talk to strangers”
   • a person who does not know, or is not known in, a particular place or community.”I’m a stranger in these parts”

With every experiencing in life we should be able to set healthy boundaries with those we know and don’t know. Unhealthy interactions do not deserve a lengthy or long lasting impact…let it go quickly.
