Gracious Word: Terminus

1/15/2014

 
Terminus
Word every Gracious Individual should know: Terminus 

Definition: Terminus; (Pronounced: TUR-muh-nuhs) Latin; noun
1. The end or extremity of anything.

Why I love this word:
Knowing your boundaries and limits are a positive complexity to understand. Not only in what you can handle responsibility wise, but also with your relationships with others. Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy. End it and move on.
