Who are you? Or rather who are you behind the labels that currently formulate your identity in the world? Coach, Wife, Accountant, mother, husband? ...the list could be very long.Just for a moment, I want you to imagine that you have no titles at all. If you were none of those things how would you measure who you are?
If the structure of society fell apart where would that leave you? No computers, no telephones, no gadgets, no money, no jobs! Scary thought! How then, would you define yourself?
I am asking a lot of questions, but I want you to think carefully about them. Because your true identity has nothing to do with what you do in life, and it is because most people think it is that they have problems finding peace with themselves.
You have to get to the core of being good enough with the bare bones of who you are, before you can start hiding behind labels. Knowing yourself is the key to 'happiness' or, at the very least, fulfillment.
I have worked with many clients that lacked confidence. They tell me that they don't understand why they are loved, because they do not see the good in themselves. They worry about people discovering that they are a phoney!
So ask yourself right now, if you were not defined by your job or your family 'position' would you be good enough? Strip down to the core layers and there is nothing left but to be ok with who you are, because there is nothing left to prove. You live, you breath, you feel. This is what people love or like about you. It's an almost indefinable thing that simply exists for all of us.
How do you feel about this? Do you have a story to share with us?
