Yesterday, I reminded a client of a simple truth. You see, she was feeling shame from another humans naming of her. She was not thinking clearly so I simply corrected her thinking. There is no shame in her name.
Do not allow another human to name you. Protect your name. You name you. Others have no power to name you. Sure, they may call you names. Many call me too much, too little, too intense, too cold, too tough, too out there, too this or too that. Others may call me whatever they want. Others can call me. I don’t have to be a dumbass and answer.
No shame in that, huh…
BUILT TO LEAD 
Such a perfect use of the word ‘dumbass’. Well done.
Amen to that!!
