CHAINS PART 2- IDENTITY CRISIS

A man who does not know himself is flexible to any kind of identity. You do not have a name or possibly you do not know your name if you answer every name you are called by everyone.

So, the question is, WHO ARE YOU?

If your answer to this question is based on the opinions of men about you, then, you do not know who you are.

If your answer to this question is tied to your  mistakes, failures, background, past,  struggles, weaknesses, and strengths, I want to tell you, you have not known yourself.

Do  not confuse your identity with flexible things. A man can be successful now and a failure in the next minute, does it mean who he is is flexible? No. In as much as it is not possible to change your name every day or week or year, your identity is unchangeable.

Human beings truly attach situations around a person to his personality , this is an unbalance approach to identity placement. Because someone fails does not make him a failure, "to fail" is just an action that passes away with time.

What you do is different from who you are. When you start thinking otherwise, it will be difficult to see the other things you can be or become. 

Identity confusion or crisis is a chain that confines a man to a spot. Sure, when someone is chained, such can move but the only thing is that, that person will not be able to move OUT of a spot. 

If a man must realize his life purpose, he must first realize who he is. If a man must reach the height of his purpose, he must breakthrough from the chain of identity crisis.

To breakthrough from identity crisis, you must know these;

First,  do not confuse the situations around you with who you are. Whatever is happening to you will pass away  with time.

Second, you must realize that there is a definition of you beyond what human beings can define.

Third, know that what you do is not synonymous to who you are. It can be part of what defines you, but your real identity is not tied to anything physical or flexible.

Then, the only one that can perfectly define you is your creator. He had given you a name that only Him calls you even before you were conceived.

To find your identity, you must find God. Him alone cn show you who you are.

It is important to know who you are, because that is the bases for purpose fulfilment in life.
