Who Are You?

Who are you? When this question is asked, so many people quickly answer without pondering what the actual question really means. You may answer, well I am a lawyer, doctor, basketball player, entrepreneur, hard worker, etc.. You may say that you’re  a person that has kids, nice cars, a decent home, etc…. All of those answers above did not answer my question. Those answers are strictly what you do or what you possess but they are not who you are. What will happen if you no longer possess the things you have or participate in the things that you do? What will happen if you get fired from a job or loose your nice cars? Will you no longer be you? Some people believe that their life no longer has value just because they got fired from their profession and now they will no longer do what they used to do. But that really wasn’t who they were.

As humans, we put too much pressure on ourselves and others. This pressure creates many negative feelings which creates a downward spiral of negative events. Pressure is one reason why many commit suicide. Because some feel that there is no point in living since they no longer have or they no longer are a(n) “_____”. Now, this may be a dramatic case but this is how some feel but we must take the pressure away from ourselves.

Now I can’t say who you are because I don’t know you personally but I can answer the question for me. I am an expanding being. I am someone that knows that no matter what things will always work out for me. I am someone that is very grateful and understands that there is a lesson that can be learned in every situation that I experience. I am apart of God and I am striving to see the world through his eyes as he would want me to see it. I am a naturally loving being that recognizes when I’m off balanced from the natural love that I possess. I am one that knows that I will sometimes fall off my path but I am one that will align myself to get back on it effectively. Being in law school is something that I do and having a child is something that I possess but it is not truly who I am.

I could go on and on about who I am because there is more to me than that paragraph above but you get the picture. STOP PUTTING SO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOURSELF!! It is okay to be what you want to be and have want you want to have. But understand that there is more to you than that. So I’m going to ask you again. Who are you? Comment below.

  2. WOW!
    Who am I? As you said there are so many things that describe who I am. Mostly importantly I am a believer who is trying to walk in the path GOD has chosen for me.

  4. That was deep. I can say that, I only put pressure on myself because I want to do my best at everything. However, Ive learned that when u stress less, at least for me, you feel better and accomplish more.
    Like you said, you are more than what you possess. Things in life are temporary and so are struggles.

  5. I like this qiusha, me and goss just spoke on this topic last night pause. Goss was saying that everything is meaningless until we give it meaning. The universe already knows our intention by now, so we should just detached and let go.

  6. That was sooooo real!!!!!!!! As soon as I started reading it & you starting saying that those things are what u do & not whom u r, was exactly what I was thinking because “u are more than what you do, your title should not confine you, & ya job does not define u” ….pressure comes when u look at somebody else’s life & don’t realize what it took for them to get their, so u forget the authentic you because you bridal your honesty to live like someone who shows was not made to fit you. “WHERE I AM IS NIT WHO I AM BECAUSE WHO I AM IS GREATER THAN WHERE I AM” who I am is really simple. Took me awhile to realize that GOD will only anoint you as your authentic self. I am a vanquisher, I am a prayer warrior, I am an individual that realizes if I am scared to jump because the thought of falling head first ….then that is exactly when I jump#FEARLESS because I walk by FAITH & not by sight. & if I fail, I try again because with failure comes opposition & with oppositions comes opportunity to dust myself off and try again “Aliyah voice”

  8. A comment from another individual: I’m a brother a son(God) respectful to my elders…fearless unpredictable a good person a shoulder a ear lover….. predictable to some! A friend a lot more and a lot of things I know I am…soon all characteristics about me will flourish cause GOD is on my side
