Who we are creates self identity
It's important that our self identity comes from who we are, not what we do.
What we do can change in our life, and if our sense of self is tied up in that, we could end up feeling vulnerable and unhappy.
For example, if our sense of self comes from the job we do, or looking after our children, one day these things will change. we will retire and our children will leave home.
These times of change can be difficult enough without having the added pressure of our self esteem dropping also.
As you are the most constant feature of your life, create your identity from who you are. |
