The purpose of this book is to empower our conscious minds to realize that the fears we feel are no different than what those around us experience. Living in the over-fished waters of criticism, we don’t have to hobble ourselves with “I’m not capable enough, smart enough, or educated enough.” Instead, recognize that we become what we choose to believe, These books contain dozens of personal stories, showing how we can develop the confidence and clear-thinking that is the essence of not feeling dumb. My breakthrough came from a new perspective. I learned that most people are just as concerned as I am about their intelligence.
The truth is everyone is intellectually handicapped, and you don’t have to fear to strive for the spectacular. You can choose between thinking “I can’t do any more than this because I’m not smart,” or “Life provides me with opportunities to learn.” This alteration in focus is a new format for thought formation; a fresh perspective that recognizes our flawed nature while removing the poison that comes from that trash-talking voice that plays in our head. We are looking at an idea that genuinely lifts the weight that so many carry which hobbles them with the four-word curse which says “I’m not good enough.”
