Reflection 7: What comes from thinking you’re dumb?

Next

What have you received from calling yourself stupid? Thinking you are useless, good for nothing, ugly, broken, unfixable, incurable, “not that cute”. What has come to you because of these beliefs? Why have you maintained contact with people that make you ask, “Oh, you must think I’m stupid?” Why is there so much space for drama and negativity in your life? Why? I’ve heard balance. “You have to have a balance.” The negativity will be present in the world, but why do you allow it to be in your world unchecked? Why are there no boundaries for what enters your space? There is no standard for yourself or others. No requirements.

These are questions I asked myself. These are questions I continue to ask because life is not going to stop presenting new dilemmas. I allowed room for the problems of the world in my life because I was convinced I had to. I was convinced that it was someone else’s fault that I had problems. I didn’t understand the power of NO. I didn’t recognize that people who don’t need me, but want me will respect my “no”, my boundaries, my distance, and the commitments I make to myself. Why do you keep people who consistently challenge your commitments so close to you? It is alright to challenge your thought, but every time you start that diet they buy you a meal that doesn’t support it or invite you to a restaurant that breaks your momentum. When you have a new schedule that doesn’t have space for “unintentional moments” they discourage you. “Why you so serious? That can wait. You work too much.” What we ask for requires a lot of work, persistence, and diligence. You won’t get extraordinary results in life with the ordinary approach. Sacrifices have to be made.

Protect your energy. Do not allow any and everybody to have access to you. Good intentions do not equal good outcomes every time. It may look right and you may look right doing it, but that does not make it right for you. Your dream is in motion. You won’t get it doing what you’ve always done with folks who don’t even chase their own. Bip into it. Bip Bip.
