What I think of me.

...once you label me, you negate me... I am not a woman, I am not a wife, I am not a mother. These are all roles. These are labels. So who am I? I am inquisitive. I learning. I am growing. I am loving. I am forgiving. I am whole. I am loving. I am evolving. I am courageous. I am fun. I am movement. I am direction. I am so much more than any label could define. Next time someone asks me "So, what do you do?" I will say, "I challenge myself to live authentically, what do you do?" This day will come, and when it does, I will be very interested in the response. Some say, "but wont you care what they think about you?". Absolutely not. If I lived my life on the thoughts of how others see me, imagine the confusion I would have. That would imply that every person I encounter, I would have to conform to their belief system to be accepted. If I accept me, then that is enough. I heard Dr Dyer say once, that if his children would come to him and say "Billy doesn't like me". He would say "Yes, but do you like you? That is enough". The way I choose to live, is true to me as is the way that others choose to live. What others think of me, is not my concern. What I think of me is.
