When Identity is not only Knowing your Name and Detail
Who am I? what exactly am I doing here?
You might be wondering why am I asking these questions to you! But, have you ever asked these questions to yourself? I'm sure most of you have asked such a question to yourself. We don't know what we are actually doing on this earth. And, the best part is such questions do come in our mind when we go through a bad situation. During unpleasant times we generally start acknowledging ourselves and our capabilities.
Moreover, the worst part is that we emphasize more on our weaknesses and shortcomings than our strength.
Identity is not only knowing your name and details. It’s about knowing who you really are, at the core, once all the masks put to accommodate society one way or the other, fall off. Self-Identity provides you inner satisfaction and happiness. If identity was about your outward appearance then nowadays, surgery can be done to alter the face or shape of an individual. Thus, does this means that people nowadays have greater choices in developing their self-identity?
Knowing your identity helps you in having control over yourself including activities and mind. It helps in dealing with the things in a sorted and absolute way. In short, our Identity helps in finding out our positive side.
Your work is to discover your world of happiness
Gautam Buddha said, discover your world and give all your heart to it. It’s important to find your purpose of life as it directs you to success. This purpose most importantly gives you the path and direction towards success. Your world of happiness is known only to you. No one else can define or present its image in front of you.
Your identity helps in projecting who you are as a person. Self-talk is a way to realize this. Your work, deed presents a mirror image in front of you. Do remember that, your name just provides a tag to your identity. It doesn’t describe who you are actually.
Contemplation and Meditation are the words which should be practiced diligently to know your inner worth. Your outer artificial identity is monitored by your inner pure identity. Also, there are some people with a dual identity. However, they know who they really are!
Your identity explains the reason behind your existence. And in point of view, you will not always know all, but you will always know enough.
