Things you own come and go, e.g. homes, cars, and electrical goods.
The constant is your own identity, you can't sell or trade it, can you?
Do you keep it safe, secure, respected and confident within you, or open to inspection, comment, dents and damage?
When you are asked "Who are you?" are you prone to responding with what you do, what you've done, where you are, where you've been etc?
Self-image is vitally important because it governs so much of our potential. It lets or denies our actions. It is often open to criticism, none stronger than from within ourselves. We may have friends who'll help by telling us what we mean to them, and helpful as that can be, it will never capture the full story.
Keep it safe.
I write about things that interest, inspire, excite and sometimes annoy me to share my view and engage thinking. Cognitive dissonance, blind or blatant hypocrisy, and the myths of the system will often pop up. Commentary and questioning in a complex world; each identified piece of the puzzle illustrates how much more we have to learn.
