Who are you?

Don’t rush to respond to that question. Who are you, really? Not your name or what you do, but who you are at the core of your being.

If I’m honest, for the longest time it was easier to list everything I did to define who I was. The titles, roles, and responsibilities I carried became intertwined with my sense of identity. I’ve learned how fragile that foundation can be. Because if what we do is taken away, what’s left of who we are?
