Help find Hope

I often think about why people suffer Identity Crisis. All of us have or do face it on and off. The key, I feel, is in how we answer just one question. A very important question;

How do I describe myself ?

It might be fruitful to introspect and find out what our answer to that question has been. More importantly, if we have answered it ourselves. Is it our own authentic answer?
when someone asks us to describe ourselves, the first few things that pop into our head might be:

1. What job do we do?
2. How good or bad we are at it?
3. What belief do we relate to - religious, political or others
4. What is our role?
5. What is our social status?
6. How we look?
and so on.
But think about who has actually answered these questions. We rely on our boss to tell us what role we play and how good or bad we are at it. We rely on our family and friends to make us feel content or otherwise about our social and economic status. Our boss, Our mom, Our dad, Our friends etc. decide "who we are ". It is most certainly not us.
