We might think that we understand identity very well, but there are 2 things that most people never truly grasp...

1) You are not your identity

Identity is all about how you are perceived by yourself and others, but perception can always change. So your identity will never be an accurate reflection of your true self.

2) Clinging to identity holds you back

When you hyperfocus on everything you associate with your identity (race, religion, gender etc) you are trapping yourself and holding yourself back from all you could be.

Instead of exploring your core essence, you are concerned with the cloak you wear, how you're perceived by the world and how you perceive yourself rather than who you ACTUALLY are.
