Have you ever hated your job? Boundaries are where our identity comes from. Boundaries define what is me and what is not me. Our work is part of our identity in that it taps into our particular giftedness and the excercise of those gifts in the community. Many people are unable to find a true work identity. They stumble from job to job, never really finding anything that is "them." More often than not, this is a boundary problem. They have not been able to own their own gifts, talents, wants, desires, and dreams because they are unable to to set boundaries on others' definitions and expectations of them. We can't be what others want us to be, we must be what and who God created us to be. (mere)
