Who are you really?<\/div>\n
The typical answers won\u2019t do here\u2026.such as student, wife, mom, daughter, father, owner, employee, doctor, lawyer, teacher, brother, lover, husband, etc. These are roles we play in the world, but not who we are\u2026.who we are is the story we believe about ourselves. You are not merely the things you do or the roles you play. What do you believe in the depth of your heart about your existence? How intimate are you with yourself and with others? This is what you believe about yourself.<\/div>\n
When Deepak Chopra asked this of Oprah Winfrey, I thought to myself, \u201cWhat a great question!\u201d How would I answer this? I know what I love and what inspires me. I know what helps me learn and what hurts me. I am a nature lover, who sees unconditional love in horses and dogs. I love people to a fault, almost as an addiction. For me, without family and friends, life just isn\u2019t full and complete. I am private, sometimes,\u00a0and always wanting to help. I struggle with being bigger than others at times and too soft in other moments. I am a little girl at heart, who sometimes\u00a0likes to play too much.\u00a0My husband knows this all too well. I am a woman born during changing times.\u00a0Many have paved the way for me as I hope to help pave the way for others.\u00a0I love deeply and have given my heart to those I love.<\/div>\n
I grew up in a conservative, traditional home where parents played traditional 1950s roles, but it was the 1970s.\u00a0As an\u00a0Asian American,\u00a0mixed\u00a0with western culture,\u00a0my heart sings when I see the Chicago skyline or hear classical Indian music. I am light and happy and serious at the same time.\u00a0I admire the generations before me who share their stories of wisdom, success, and failure.\u00a0I have been given the opportunity to\u00a0heal and\u00a0overcome\u00a0hurts and woundings.\u00a0Life is hard, but it is also worth the battle, even in the most painful times. I am all of my experiences and the experiences of others and of the One who made me. Life has provided chances for help, guidance, and learning. I may answer this question differently in the years to come, but for today, this is what feels right to me.\u00a0 \"who-are-you-really-2\"<\/div>\n
How would you answer this question? Do\u00a0you believe you\u00a0have the power to make\u00a0you peaceful?\u00a0Do you have the power to make yourself happy? Do you have the power to be yourself? Do you have the power to stay connected to yourself? Things to think about and things that make you go….Hmmmmm. (For those of you that remember Arsenio.) :-)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
