If we can't distinguish between who we are and what we do (or did), we may have difficulty with separating who we are from our dx.

Who I am is a fact. What I do (or did) is my story (not a fact). OBTW and FWIW, these are stored in two different parts of the brain, yet we consistently schmooozh them together.

I pledge to all herein that this simple truth is one of the four cornerstones to my wellness I have embraced. Who I am is not what I do (or did)!

PS: Test children under 10. 100% can't distinguish between these two states of being. The schmooozh is something I willingly gave up to gain maturity. Now, no schmooozh, just wellness.
