Mel Robbins

Rule #1: Stop explaining yourself. Look, every time you over-explain your choices, you're handing over your power. You don’t owe anyone a play-by-play of your life. Want respect? Act like your decisions are final. Period. Rule #2: Set boundaries like your life depends on it. Because guess what? It does. Respect starts with you. If you don’t respect your time, your energy, your peace—no one else will. Say no without guilt. That’s not rude. That’s powerful.
