Who Are We?

 

Some of us might consider, WHO WE ARE? to be an absurd question because we seldom think about who we are? or for that matter, why are we here? that always leads to what is our purpose?

For me, it is an important question to become self-aware.

Self-awareness is the ability to understand your own thoughts, feelings, and actions, and how they influence your behavior. It also involves being able to recognize how others see you...

• Thoughts
• Feelings
• Actions
• Influencing behavior
• How others see you

All these points are important but seldom addressed except for how others see us and that seems to be our primary concerns.  Many of us base our self-esteem on how others see us.  It influences what we say, our behavior, and how we dress.

Many of us, especially males, don't really care about what we think or how we feel... we just think and feel like we always did and that is it...   

That changes somewhat once we are married and again when we have children but not that much because by that time we are set in our ways.

So who are we?

1. American
2. From a State
3. Male/Female
4. White/Black
5. Tall/Short
6. Religious/Not religious
7. College educated
8. Veteran
9. Athlete
10. Musician
11. Creative
12. Married/Single
13. Parent/Grandparent
14. Brother/Sister
15. Handsome/Ugly
16. Smart/Dumb
17. Friendly/Not friendly
18. Honest/Liar
19. Homeowner
20. Debt free

The list is endless when you think about it because there are hundreds of ways that we can be identified.  And we have not even touched on self-awareness.
