Did You Lose Your Identity When You Lost Your Job?

Every person with any level of drive and success run the same danger - tying who they are to what they do; tricked by titles that cloud true identity. Corporate was a set up if you were trained to believe that if you just follow the "rules of success"; get an education, get a good job, climb the corporate latter, and live a bountiful financial good life, forever more. If that sounds familiar but you have since been downsized, laid off, fired, a victim of the stock market or some other unforeseeable circumstance that defied the "rules of success" and disrupted your plan - then you have likely had a wilde ess experience that's left you wondering who you are because "this was not supposed to happen"...not to you. Daunting, hah? If you've been duped to believe that you are your job, title, economic status, class, or any other separatist, even divisive category then you believe that what you do is who you are. Here's your new danger... When things change - as they most assuredly do, when finances slow in flow, as material possessions lose their value and those who have surrounded you begin to disappear - as an individual, you are loss.nnWill the Real You, Please Stand?

You have the skill set that you have. You can always learn more and do something else.
