I am so excited to share

this wonderful advice I

once received from a

nice Austrian female

friend of mine from 1985.

This friend will remain

nameless, however

being the charming

person she was, she

says I can see into your

eyes and know your problem.

I thought to myself what

she only met me. What

could she possibly know

anything about me. Well

it was much deeper, she

read my soul and that is

saying something for a

friend of that magnitude

to come along once in a

lifetime, a person you barely

know says I know what your

problem is? So, here goes

I must have looked sad in my

expression on a outing she

and I were on. My friend said

you have been called stupid

from real young until

now as an adult woman, perhaps

when you started

grade school your teachers were

unable to reach through to you

with their teaching methods.

i see a very sad look, because

you should never have believed

them. I was told that moment

you are only as stupid as you

convince yourself you are, it has no

value of self acceptance. I never

should have believed it. Sound

wisdom. Love thyself unconditionally.

My friend told me. Light bulb moment.

Not believe the crap that might

be tossed at you no matter what.

Smile. Peace.
