Things that don't define who you are

1.Your occupation - It is easy to identify yourself as a teacher or a doctor or stay-at-home mom. But is that really who you are?

2.Your family relationship - Whether you grew up in a two-parent home, with a single parent, with a distant relative, or if your family is close-knit, or a little broken apart, your family relationship doesn’t define you.

3.Your vices- We all have weaknesses. But if you think that you are a failure just because you sometimes fail - you’re wrong.

4.Your race - No matter the color of your skin you are special on the inside.

5.Your age - We can often identify with those that are close in age. Young and old, be careful not to wrap your identify around your birth date.

6.Your ability/disability - Are you exceptionally good at something or are you unable to do many things because of a special circumstance? What if these things all of a sudden changed? Would you still know where to place your real identity?

7.Your intellect and education - Do you get to write those little letters behind your name like “M.D.” because you worked hard for an education? Or were you not able to finish grade school because you had to work hard to help your parents? Whatever boat you are in, your education doesn’t define you.

8.Your physical appearance - Do you like your shape? Do you think your nose is way too big? Do you think you are laden with flaws? Chances are we all have things that we may have been insecure about at one time or another.

9.Your economic status - Whether you were blessed to inherit great wealth, or may not know where tonight’s meal is coming from, doesn't matter, if you believe upon yourselves and an Ultimate power.

10.Your health - You can have 1% body fat or be struggling to lose those 15 lbs. You may have fought a battle against diabetes or another disease - still you are so much greater than your health.
