No that is not a trick question.... seriously,
if someone asked you that question how
would you answer it? Well, if you are
thinking it is an easy question you are seriously wrong. It is a very deep
question that will actually take a little (or a lot) of time to think about.
Yes, of course you are the obvious you are male
or female, you are mother, father, sister, brother. You have a job title, but
do those things define who you are? Who is that under-line person that makes
you a complete individual? You have to admit it is a very interesting concept
to think about.
One of the biggest things in life is we have so
many different labels glued to us, that often the underline person becomes an
object that sits on the shelf and gathers dust. Along with who are you-the next question would
be.... what do you want to do with your life once you defined who you are?
Tricky, Tricky, Tricky... answer wisely or
not. When we start to describe who we
are, you would think that our underlined goals would match up to the
description we wrote about our self. Guess what, chances are that is going to
be correct. Once you define who you are,
you will also get a handle on what you want from life and/or what you want to
do with your life.
This was part of my homework from my therapy
session. Guess what, when I was asked who I was... I stared at my therapist
like a deer staring into headlights. I was shocked...seriously. So after
thinking about it all day yesterday (which by the way I love being asked
questions that make me think) and most of the night; when I got up this morning
after thinking a little more, I was able to write out, who I am.
So I wrote it out, and along with it things
appeared that I want that I did not realize.
So......I decided I wanted to write a post about this and would love to
hear your thoughts, if you feel like sharing. I promise it is very interesting
and will help you decide what you want out of life.... I am not sure this would
be interesting to everyone or not, but I do know some people will find
answering this question to be interesting. And believe it or not, it is a
question that will teach you things about yourself-you may not have realized
were there.

You're not kidding, when we get asked to define ourselves, it is no easy quick summation. So many things have to be embraced, like utter honesty. A lot of people probably define themselves initially by their functions in life, and then possibly by their shortcomings..but really..if you can sum yourself up that quick, you're not really giving yourself the real credit you deserve, or you've not done enough introspection. I was see myself as an ever changing evolution of what I once was, and any definition I give to day is only a temporary one at best. Great post!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for you comment... without a doubt we are ALL ever changing evolution of what we all were... but once you dig in deep, you may be surprise of the answers that will surface.
