Who am I?

 Who am I?

This is one of the toughest questions life can ever throw at you. 

Before anyone ever asks who you are? You must have asked yourself this question at least a thousand times, directly or indirectly. 

But have you ever paused and taken time to intentionally answer this question?  

This is a question that has a relative answer. Who you are is different from who your neighbor is, but one thing is in common. That generic answer to this question is “EGO”.

 Yes, I know quite a good number of folks have a bias thought pattern about ego and don’t necessarily see ego as a good thing. But “Who am I?”, which can also be interpreted as “What is my identity?” is birth-forth out of our ego. 

Ego can be described as the combination of three special elements of the human psyche. What view do you have about yourself (self-image)? What value do you place on yourself (self-esteem)? And also what, beliefs and ideologies do you associate yourself with (self-identity)?.

Your ego has a way to make or mar you. One thing you should know first is, nobody is better than you are, you are just different. You are not useless, you have something to offer. Our mindset is critical to this, what is your self-image? What is the level of your self-esteem, what believes are you feeding on? Because they make up your self-identity. 

“YOU CAN LEARN FROM EVERYONE, EEN A BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY”

As individuals we all have a set purpose here on earth, we are all important cog that fits in well to keep the machine (the world) running. Who you are, depends on how well you feed your ego. Remember everyone is equally as important as yourself. As you think about yourself think about others too, that way the machine will keep on running for longer than you can ever imagine,
