Identity

The importance of knowing our identity is underestimated. Self-awareness in someone shows in their behaviour. Those who have it, tend to be successful, and those who don’t, often spend time wondering why things didn’t work out as expected. Actually, those who are self-aware wonder that too, but in a different context.

Who we are, how we think, what we believe, and how we behave, all combine to establish our identity. Identity is tied to self-confidence. And like self-confidence, if identity is undermined or questioned, it can be shattering. Rightly or wrongly, our identity is sometimes oversimplified to our job title.
