Who am I?

I was talking to a friend at work and I asked him, "What would you do if you did not have your job?" he said he would probably die because his job is his life.  Let's think about this for a moment.  Are we our jobs?  Are we just mothers, fathers, CEO's, Doctors, Janitors, Police Officers, Teachers? or are these our occupations and roles?  We have been taught to believe we are what we do.  This is not true.  We are much simpiler.  Life is much simpiler.   We are beings capable of amazing things.  We should not limit ourselves with labels.  We should not let things make us who we are, we should enjoy the things in our life.  If we lose our jobs, our homes or possesions, that will not the end of us.  They are things.  Life does not require a title or an object to make it worth living.  Life does not need to be defined.  Life should be enjoyed, lived and loved.  Remove the labels, live and love.   Every moment we live is a wonderful moment.
