Sticks and Stones: They can't hurt you anymore.

When people call you names and have low expectations of you, it hurts. But as author Terry Cole Whittaker says, it's none of your business what people negatively say or think about you. (See, "What You Think of Me Is None of My Business" (1988).) As you succeed, you will prove yourself right. You will gain real confidence that will give you immunity to those that try to hurt you. Today, I share multiple stories from childhood to adulthood where I experienced name calling and hurtful expectations. Learn how I overcame those experiences and how you can too.
