I AM DUMB!

“That’s what Tracey believed about herself.
 
She’d believed it all her life because it was true. Everybody knew it was true, and Tracey was often ragged about it when she did dumb things. Which was often. Actually, Tracey never realised how dumb she was until she went to school.

As a young girl, she suffered from a lazy eye so wore unattractive, thick lensed glasses. And sometimes she was a little clumsy, which always drew an audience. How the others kids laughed then; she was blonde after all. 

Tracey grew up believing she was dumb. Even though it was never proven to be true, somehow it stuck. Whenever she did things that others could get away with, Tracey never could.

She often felt humiliated and ashamed. So she learnt to laugh at the comments and decided it didn’t matter that she was dumb.

However, as a 70-year-old woman, Tracey still remembers she was always the dumb kid at school. As a 70-year-old woman, with deep wisdom gleaned from the rich tapestry of her life, Tracey still felt dumb. Even on her deathbed, Tracey will still feel dumb. That’s the saddest part; it doesn’t have to be that way.”

(Excerpt from ‘How to Make The Rest of Your Life The Best of Your Life: Tough Love For Smart Single Women Over 60’ Author - Victoria Rose. Page 143.)

This is a true story. I hope its not true for you?

 
Please be careful which words you choose to say after: 

"I AM …” For they have the power to determine your fate. Believe me.

Don’t be a Tracey!  
But seriously, are you?
