Have you ever given up on anything because you you think you're not smart enough to do it? Well, I have done that a couple of times. I usually think I was not smart or intelligent enough to do some certain things I really wanted to do.
Although, all my teachers have always identified me as a smart and intelligent girl, I still never had that confidence. Maybe because I have never gotten that remark from my parents or any family member.
Verbal remarks from those closest to us contribute a lot to our mental formation. This is why patents have to be very careful with what they say to their children. Your words can make your child grow up to become a mentally stable or unstable adult. Now, this is a topic for another day.
However, the good news is, you can undo whatever was done to you in the past. Yes, you can start speaking positive things to yourself. Tell yourself you are smart enough to do whatever you want to do. Keep renewing your mind with rejuvenating words everyday.
Step out and do that thing that scares you. That thing that makes you feel you are dumb or not smart enough. At first, you might not get it right. Do not be discouraged. Be persistent and diligent. Keep doing it and after a while, you will begin to realize that you are actually smarter than you think you are. A lot of the world's celebrated geniuses only got it right after several attempts.
A lot of achievers were not born smart (according to the world's definition of being smart). They worked their way into it. You too can be acknowledged as the smart one if you dare to make an attempt.
Before you write off yourself, always remember this;
You a greater than what you think you are.
Namaste!
