I am not who I was, but I know who I am.

For most of my life, I’ve felt that there must be more to our existence than meets the eye.
This is who I am, and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.

I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose.

Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.

I Am What I Think I Am

What the society thinks is of no interest to me. All that's important is how I see myself. I know who who I am. I know the value of my work.

I was once afraid of people saying, “Who does she think she is?” Now I have the courage to stand and say, “This is who I am.

I am what I am because of who we all are.

It’s not what you are that counts, it’s what they think you are.

Often times, a person will think they know you by piecing together tiny facts and arranging those pieces into a puzzle that makes sense to them. If we don't know ourselves very well, we'll mistakenly believe them, and drift toward where they tell us to swim, only to drown in our own confusion.
Here's the truth: it's important to take the necessary steps to find out who you are. Because you hold endless depths below the surface of a few facts and pieces and past decisions. You aren't only the ripples others can see. You are made of oceans.

Who is it that can tell me who I am?

you need to know who you are
or you'll be told who you are

loved ones and society can inundate you
with opinions and information

knowing your values can help you navigate the world

find the balance between embracing new ideas
and not being told what to think by others

You are what you believe yourself to be.

I am not what happened to me; I am what I choose to become.
