You are …

                The things you do are important to you.

                Yet they are not who you are.

                The words you speak serve to express you.

                Even so, they are not who you are.

                The circumstances of your life

                Give you a context in which you have to operate.

                However, those circumstances do not define you.

                The problems you have,

                The possibilities that are open to you,

                The challenges you face, the value you have created

                Are all connected to you.

                Yet they are not who you are.

                Your past tells the story of what you have been through,

                And your future gives you space in which you grow.

                Your past and the future are not you, though.

                You are beyond your words, your actions,

                Your circumstances, your challenges,

                Your accomplishments, your past history

                And your future opportunities.

                So who exactly are you?

                You are the person,

                Who can give it all meaning,

                And beauty, and love.
