Beliefs and Revelations

Have you ever had a revelation? Have you ever known something in your head, but not in your heart? I've setup an elaborate belief system that I thought was protecting me, but it was actually destroying me. DESTROYING ME! I've been carrying around the belief that I am a worthless, unintelligent human being. The false love and confidence I had in myself was just my way of pushing down the feelings of inadequacy. Don't believe that about yourself. You are worthwhile and intelligent. I needed to be reminded of that and it's finally beginning to take root in my heart.
