One must be leery of words because they turn into cages.--Viola Spolin
We defeat ourselves with labels.
We hem ourselves in; we shorten our vision; we cut off opportunities in the making.
We influence how others think of us, too.
Someone wise said that we teach others how to treat us.
Are we teaching people to expect nothing great from us because we are always afraid?
Do we shatter their vision of our potential by never thinking we can handle what may come?
We become the persons we program ourselves to be.
We can revamp the program, anytime.
And right now is a good time to begin.
