“Give up defining yourself – to yourself or to others. You won’t
die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others
define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s
their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there
primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious
Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose
something that you are.”― Eckhart Tolle
