Being Just Me

How do you define yourself? Do you define yourself by what you do? 'I am an accountant/teacher/manager/businessman'. OR do you define yourself by who you are? What sort of person are you? Isn't that truly how to define yourself?

When you define yourself by what you do, what happens when you no longer do that thing? When you retire, or go to work for yourself? Suddenly that very limiting definition of what you do opens out into who you are...and that's such a big change. There's no convenient label to hang on 'me-ness' (well, Donnaonthebeach does it quite well for me...but how will other people know?).

It's a leap, to be sure... And it can be a very scary (or exciting) leap. There is no such thing as 'just' you - you-ness is a huge thing for you to grow into...and boy how attractive when you are 'fully you'.

Love
