Today I had to help a child who had been told by the adults in her life that she wasn't "good enough" and "Just who do you think you are?" She has heard it so often that people don't even have to say a word...she can see it in their actions, tone of voice or in the rolling of their eyes.
*i reneism: Insecurity breeds doubt not only in ones-self but in others.
Tonight she KNOWS the only truth is her truth, and she is so much better than "good enough" and that who she knows herself to be...is all that matters! (When somesome asks..."Who do you think you are?" What they are really asking is: “Who do I think I am?” As Wayne Dyer said, "When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself."
If you have ever rolled your eyes, or been anything other than accepting with your words and actions toward someone who has expressed a desire or a dream, (and most everyone has); This adult could just as well have been YOU. It is important that we do a "self check" and just be aware that how we respond to others can and often does have an affect beyond that moment.
