As you recall last week, we began reflecting upon our identity and the way we perceive our identity affects every choice we make, every thought we think, every stand we take, as well as our relationship with others. Who we believe we are colors everything we do.

I shared five statements from the late Father Henri Nouwen, who noted that all of them are lies and many of us believe or have believed them about ourselves. To briefly review these statements:

1) I am what I have.                                                 2) I am what I do.

3) I am what other people say or think of me.         4) I am nothing more than my worst moment.

5) I am nothing less than my best moment.

Lie #2 I am what I do...
