Some have taken to inventing very unique or clever sounding names. In a business setting we’ll offer our names, titles, and contact information but our name is the key factor. I say this only because when we introduce ourselves we offer our name as our unique identifier. Our names are often the first factor in defining who we are. Your parents give you your first name and you typically share their last name or surname. Of course, your relatives provide a key factor in defining who you are. Searching ancestral records can provide answers but that’s your relatives - not you. Or perhaps you’re think your identity is tied to where you live, the clothes you wear and the car you drive, or your bank account. So how do you answer this important question? Is your answer your name, who your parents are, where you live, or what line of work you do? Maybe your answer relates to your occupation, your field of study, your accomplishments and awards, or your rank or position in an organization. Others may ask you this question, but the first person who should ask this question is you - to yourself. But it’s you alone who owns the right, and the duty, to provide the answer to yourself. Some may shape your answer, other influences might mold your response. Others can’t answer this question, but of course they may influence your answer. So I ask you again: who do you think you are? Only you can answer this question directed to yourself. And that’s the opposite of where we want to be isn’t it? We want to be un-dangerously healthy with respect to ourselves and others. People who are mentally unhealthy can believe they are not who they really are and become a danger to themselves or others. Understanding who we are is essential to our mental health. Knowing who you are is critical in developing an understanding of where you “belong” or how you “fit in” in the world we live in. Often someone who knows them is there at the end and happily helps them reconnect with the reality of who they are. The reader or viewer often knows who they are and watches vicariously as they begin their journey of self-discovery and recovery. They’re lost and ungrounded, wandering and wondering who they are. They become distraught and confused not knowing who they are. Many stories and movies are written about people who develop amnesia and forget who they are. Wouldn’t you agree, it’s an important question? If you don’t, then I ask this: What’s more important than knowing who you are? I ask you this question because I think it’s a very important question. We often ask this question as a sarcastic response to someone’s perceived behavior or attitude, but I don’t know you. He did this so we can:īefore we go any further - I have an important question to ask you. So how can you know who God created you to be? God has given us His words in the form of the Bible. Only God can answer life's greatest question -> Why are we here? Because He's our Creator, only God can explain why He created us.
