It is important to spend time considering who you think you are.

If someone asked you to answer the question “Who are you?” 10 separate times—and if each time you had to supply a fresh response—what responses would you offer? Would you be able to group your answers into categories? For example, do you see yourself in reference to your gender (male, female, trans), your religion (Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, Christian), your race (African, Hispanic, Caucasian, Asian), your nationality (U.S. citizen, Turkish, German), your physical attributes (heavy, slim), your roles (wife, son, student, employee), your attitudes and emotions (hopeful, pessimistic, personable), your mental abilities (sharp, slow), and your talents (musically or artistically gifted)? The words you use to describe yourself are revealing both to yourself and to others.
