There is a fine line between being generous and being taken advantage of.
If you are a generous person, it is up to you to draw this line.
You cannot count on others to draw it for you.
Nor should you feel sorry for yourself if people take too much when you are unwilling to tell them not to.
You have to determine how much of yourself you are and are not willing to give.
And then you have to be willing to stand behind your decision.
The most generous people have to set the firmest boundaries.
DRAW A LINE OF OF GENEROSITY
