(Justin Deschamps) Who are you? Are you your feelings? Are you your thoughts? Are you your desires? What makes you, you?

If you think you are your thoughts, desires, or instincts, then they’ll dominate your decision-making process. But it’s important to remember that there are layers to your being.

If you identify with the wrong things, you can be led astray, creating drama and problems for you and others.
