30. Who Are You Without Your Job? Wrestling With the Identity Question.
Many of us associate our identity with our job, with our title, with our type of work. But who are you without your job? The same worthy human being you were yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that. It can be hard to answer that question, “What do you do?” when you’re in the messy middle. It’s tempting to jump into another group to claim an identity - a political party, a sports team, a religious affiliation - but none of those tell the full picture either. Simply being human is having a renaissance right now as we all struggle with the line between us and AI. How would you finish these sentences? I’m a human who loves… I’m a person who believes… I’m someone who helps others… Your identity is a journey, rather than a destination. We’re human beings, not human doings. It’s okay to just be.
