I was told (but did not believe) that I was not bright and intelligent.

“Harry is dead-slow” said Mrs Storey to my mother (I was 5) … I didn’t like that much, so I called her Mrs Book because it irritated her.

(you see, it was my Mother who told me I was wonderful – and I believed her)

They build psychological connections. They influence how we think. Since thoughts determine actions, there's a powerful connection between the words we use and the results we get." I will always be amazed by the power of words to heal or to destroy. Words are so powerful. They can be so beautiful and helpful, but they can also be harsh and harmful. We are blessed with tongues that speak words. It could be words of love, praise, kindness, forgiveness and encouragement, and it could also be dark words full of hatred, disrespect and slander. Words can weave together a broken heart or restore a shattered relationship, but words can also devastate the spirit, and create waves that separate two people. Words can restore the soul, but words can also cut deep and hurt feelings. Words can transmit a wealth of information but words can also be deceiving. Words can praise a person but words can also assassinate a character. Words can bring peace and joy, but words can also set a blazing fire to harmony. “Words create impressions, images and expectations. They build psychological connections. They influence how we think.

Your comment touched me very much. Do you know why? I was just at your site yesterday and this is what I thought. "This guy is amazing. He is so ALIVE, brilliantly alive. He's really on the ball. SO smart. And I've seen your comments on our mutual friends' sites and have just loved them. You are as your smiling avatar shows you to be: full of life, keen interest, aware and very kind. I am sooooooo glad that you too realized your intelligence. You gave yourself a GREAT gift. I love this line from your comment: "...my intelligence had nothing to do with how much I could remember and everything to do with applied wisdom..." Oh Amit, I really relate to that. And you've written it so beautifully. Yes, the number of facts we can remember doesn't make us wise or even necessarily intelligent. I have experienced intelligence (and wisdom) as a state of being. We could not even know how to read, write, or know a single fact and STILL be HIGHLY intelligent. Thank you for inspiring me soooooooo much!! ;) I am SO glad you stopped in, Amit.

It moved me to tears. Well, actually I don't think I breathed through the whole thing, and THEN the tears started. LOL!! :) If you have not yet met Lance, you MUST. He is funny, astoundingly kind and you go away feeling like the world (and YOU) are truly safe, loved and more than okay. I love you dear Lance.

Thank you SOOO much for your kind words. I cherish them. I just LOVE this line: "Learning that no one else has authority over who we are is the most important lesson of all." That is a quote for my wall. And your book..someday. :) Because once we KNOW this through and through we can truly direct our lives. We no longer give our power over to someone else or another "authority". Thank you. BEAUTIFUL!! Hello my highly creative friend. Thank you SOOO much for your kind words. I cherish them.

I am so heartened to know that you too re-claimed yourself. That is self-evident from the power of your blog and writing. I just wondered right now if those of us who had strong personalities as child, found school more difficult. It made me think of friend's child whom I've know since she was 5 and is now 13, but she was VERY strong willed, wise and knowing right from the git go. She knew what she wanted and had a strong sense of self. And school was exceedingly hard on her. She was later home schooled for some time and it really worked for her. --- Your story about college and getting back in touch reminds me very much of my time in the rainforest when I realized that I not only DID know how to learn, but that I was very intelligent...and highly curious. That was an exciting moment to awaken to. Thank YOU, Linda, for your wisdom and solid knowing. I really enjoy it/you. :) What a fascinating comment, Linda.
