A Woman without an Identity is a Woman without Happiness

A Woman's Battle against Herself - Most women are at war with the one person who is always on their side...HERSELF.

We are too often the subjects of a lost identity. Somewhere along the path of life, we are forced to forget why we were born who we were born to be and we begin to neglect our true calling; the one thing that makes us happy. Some women identify this as an issue early enough to take a stand and make a change. I know because I was one of these women. But unfortunately, too many do not find the strength to even admit that not having an identity or (worst) not being completely happy with themselves is an issue. These women are at a constant battle with themselves, which in turn affects every aspect of their lives. How have you dealt with this issue and made a change? How has your life been affected by the lack of an identity? And how does it make you feel now that you have reclaimed "YOU" and claimed the happiness you deserve?

I am quite happy to tel you that I own my own identity. I have my own though, my own way and I am free like a bird. I think I am little lucky

Thank you for sharing! Loved how you said "I am free like a bird!" That's how everyone should feel. To be free to be who you were destined to be and experience ultimate happiness from that is wonderful. I am guessing that the way you feel right now (at this point in your life) denies you the chance of even going back to a time when you weren't as free. What matters is that you know who you are and where you are going! I think you are blessed!

I include, women who have no identity. And I feel unhappy. Very miserable, a woman who has no identity. I want to, make my own identity. But, I do not have the ability.

I understand that there are a lot of circumstances or barriers that may limit a woman or any individual for that matter from having an identity or being themselves. But is there really a limit? If you look within yourself, don't you see or feel something that is truly yours; that one thing that holds the key to your happiness and that deserves to shine? What can you do to tap into that?

Wrong. I know 'having to worry about MY identity' is more stress than I want; and I don't have all the body-maintenance issues women have to deal with, so I imagine it's too much stress for THEM even-MORE. Love-of-self-identity like that is a pathway to conflict.
