CHAINS PART 2- IDENTITY CRISIS

Image
By
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.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

By
When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
