Enough Is Enough
Pushed far enough, everyone will eventually push back. Where lies the line between taking it, rolling with it, or sucking it up, and snapping, pushing back, or giving as good is different with each person, in each situation. Eventually, though, even the meekest of us can be pushed so far that she has no recourse but to push back.
I don’t mean the first time you gentley say no to yet another project being piled on you at work. The kind of push back I’m talking about is when you storm into your boss’s office and start laying down demands backed by a firm ultimatim. It’s the kind fed by constant frustration, a little at a time, until one day you find yourself standing on the wrong side of a line you didn’t even know you’d drawn in the sand.
When have you been in a situation where you’ve said to yourself, “enough is enough!” What caused you to break character, your breast suddenly hardening into unstoppable resolve? What person, group of people, or situation pushed and pushed and pushed you until you dug your heels deep and shoved back?
When was enough, enough?
