The question that is the birthplace of all answers or a key to rearranging all the dots of life’s piled-up dilemmas in order.

Maybe, this question is not even a question at all, but an initiation to knowing the self and getting in touch with our inner core identity.

It just reminds us of our abilities by evolving ourselves into the human we want while staying in connection with our roots involving all versions of ourselves that together made us who we are today, also altogether helping the human that we are in making.

However, not everyone thinks this to themselves, maybe they weren’t meant to, or maybe they are too busy to give this a thought, or simply because they are scared to think about this.

Indeed it is scary and not for the faint of heart, but as essential as breathing. It is an important self-talk that gives us the power to represent ourselves to the world of possibilities, as only a fool thinks that they are incapable and that they should get scared, whereas a wise person knows that everyone is capable and there is nothing to fear anything in this world, as the world starts from within.

“Who are you” is surely an ice breaker in the process of self-introspection, and self-introspection is an ice breaker for making our place in the outside world.

It's not only a single phrase but a tree with different branches of questions from the self such as, Who are you without the conditioning you have been given? Who are you without the experiences you have so far? Who are you without the choices you made in life?
Who are you without the drama of the surroundings you brought up in? Who are you without that education?
Who are you without that generational wealth?
Who are you without history’s influence on you?
Who are you without the people and things you surround yourself with?
Who are you without having known all those places?
Who are you when you are alone?

So, When the question “Who are you” diverges into many questions like these, you just do not find a single answer or the answer to all your questions, but a sense of identity and abundance of abilities connecting to the world yet unique in its own.
