Are you dumb?

Are you dumb?

The letters in the word dumb can mean Deft, Unique, Masterful and Brainy. Looking at the word in this way gives it a new spin.

The word “dumb” is not always what we think it means. The letters in the word dumb can mean Deft, Unique, Masterful and Brainy. Looking at the word in this way gives it a new spin.

As spirit, we are specialists. We are creators. We can put our brain cells to work and turn one thing into another, creating incredible and spectacular new things, making us Great, Exceptional, Notable, Intelligent, Useful and Special (genius).

From our earliest moments, we are learning about our environment. Our fetus ears can hear our mother’s voice; Spirit’s intelligence prepares our brain and nervous system for living a life on Earth. We are not static. In fact, our very beings at this moment are taking in information to foster mental, spiritual and physical growth. With this energy, we create what we want, when we want.

Every bit of human accomplishment is a bit of genius.

Intelligence and beauty are the most valued assets on Earth. Intelligence can create beauty. Beauty can bring joy. As spiritual beings, we are both. So, the next time someone calls you a dummy say, “Yes, I am Dynamic, Understanding, Magnificent, Magical, and Young at heart!”
