For at least the first 30 decades of my life, I believed that I was a “stupid, piece-of-shit, asshole.” Those are the words my father would drill into my head almost daily when he was angry about something, and he was often angry. He would get in moods that were both frightening and violent. I was constantly being reminded that I would never amount to anything good.
For a significant portion of my life, I carried around the belief that I simply did not measure up to those who had college and university degrees, and more money than I did. These were all people who occupied a higher rung on the social ladder. They were undoubtedly more intelligent, more accomplished, and more important than I could ever hope to be.
I always justified my insecurities with such words as, “I have a PhD from the school of hard knocks.” And, while yes, that is true. If the School of Hard Knocks acknowledged my decades worth of pain and suffering, the decades in which I pinched, crawled and struggled to overcome the almost insurmountable obstacles I received in my life, I would definitely be a star-student and take home my well deserved School of Hard Knocks Diploma, and I would do so with Honors.
After struggling to know why my father had abused me for so many years, I searched for answers. On that long, painful and treacherous Journey, I found my Authentic Self. I discovered how to take My Personal Power Back! "You are not the sum of all the terrible things that happened in your past. You are so much more than that!!"
