As a child, you accepted much of what you were told, right or wrong. Your critical thinking skills did not exist to give you the tools needed to survive in the world. Identity is so important because it unlocks so many other amazing things in your life. You weren't put on this earth to be a bump on a log or a lump of coal in the ground.Your mission is to keep growing, expanding and learning to lead a full and happy life. When you do these things, your identity will change.
