Bulldog at the Gate

Good Dog doesn’t debate; it enforces.

Freedom Sovereignty Self-Ownership Boundaries

Metaphorical Narrative

The gate used to be decorative.
People walked through with opinions like boxes to drop off.

Then the Bulldog arrived.
No growl. Just presence. The deliveries stopped overnight.

Core Insight

Clear boundaries free energy; negotiation drains it.
Enforcement can be calm, consistent, brief.
“Not for me” is a complete sentence.

Saturday Experiment

  1. Write three one-line boundary scripts (work, relationships, self).
  2. Practice saying them aloud with neutral tone.
  3. Use one today. No defense. No extra words.

Sunday Reflection

  • Where does this person still over-explain a boundary?
  • Which gate hours need posting?
  • What energy returns when the Bulldog handles the door?
