We are whatever we tell ourselves we are wether it is good or bad. It does not really matter if it is really true or not. There is a fellow I work nights with that constantly tells us that he is not bright and slow when we question why it has taken over 2 months to learn the layout of the store. No matter how we try to help him it will never work because he will just tell himself that he is not bright and slow. So bottom line is if you tell and convince your brain that you rule you willl do just that. If on the other hand if you convince it of something negative it will become just that.

Very true. I struggle with this myself, but I generally remain as positive as possible.
