WHO AM I

Have you ever wondered that; if the memories of who you are and have been were erased, where you would be, who you would be? Would you end up being the same person you were, or would you change and be another? How then would you be able to define who you are? If you went through the same experiences, would you make the same choices, mistakes or achievements? But knowing that each occurrence or experience stands out on its own, and can never be repeated, even if the same circumstance was replicated time can’t be duplicated, would it then be right to say that for every man there is only one chance to do whatever we want, have or need do, for that chance in its uniqueness – time – would be lost forever? Yes, I think that is true. And if it is, then who you are is not embedded in what you’ve done but in what you will and can do.
Hence I beg to disagree, if anybody’s had a pre-determined idea that a string of lived moments define who they are, by stating that our past is not all we’ve got or who we are, rather all that is hidden in the present, the now, the moments in those ‘nows’ define who we are and can be. I say that we find our identity in a series of ‘nows’ linking gradually to the future. That we should each day, hour, minute, second and moment, try to find ourselves, because only by constantly discovering who we are do we truly know who we are. If we choose to run away the 'now' in our lives; we inadvertently run away from our lives. The only constant thing in existence is God, not change. But add another to the list of constancy and you’ll get change.
If this so happens to be true, then why define yourself as one thing, as only one thing, when at that very moment you could be another. Constant re-discovery enhances utmost output. How do you know what you can or cannot do, without re-evaluating what you can or cannot do? The more you ask yourself this question: ‘Who am I?’ the better you get at being you.
Never be content with who you are when you can be better. Always ask yourself: ‘Who am I’, and marvel at the updated you.
