The Call 20: Who Are You?

This solid sense of self she says! For me it is not so solid.

Why is it the people and things that surround us also shape who we are?

I admire the Chinese... they were conquered many, many times and always kept their own culture the same... no matter who ruled them!

I would like to add with this commentary on Oriah's quote what I learned from a marriage counselor I once saw... he said, "do something different".

Do something different... apologize, don't apologize... yell and scream, don't yell and scream... take some time away, don't leave the situation... whatever it is that you do when you are upset... do something different.

You shape who you are... don't allow someone else to. No person or situation should be able to steal the peace you have worked so hard to build!

"How much of the story you created do you mistake for who and what you are?"

Make no mistake... it is your story and your's alone... create it with extreme care.
