When you introduce yourself to someone, how do you define yourself? Hi... I'm his wife or her husband. I'm a lawyer, a bus driver, a teacher. I'm a mother, a father. I'm single. I'm an artist, a musician. I'm so stupid. I can't do anything. "I" What is that? Who is that? What about all that stuff you have, is that you? You car, your house or apartment is that you? Do you even know who you are aside from what you do, your relationship and what you own? I dare say you don't. If you think I'm wrong. Describe yourself and consider the description you use. You don't know who you are any more than I know who you are.
Maybe it's time to start taking time to think about who you are. Quiet time. Alone time. Just time. What if you lost everything. Would you lose yourself? http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/david_hoffman_on_losing_everything.html
