We Are More Than Our Labels

As soon as we are born we are immediately labeled. We are black, white, Hispanic, Asian, male, female, Protestant, Hindu. We are categorized in hundreds of different ways throughout our life. Is that who we are? Though these may describe who we are in the world, it has little to do with who we really are.

We are all spirit, each with a piece of god housed within a human body. The spirit is the part of us that transcends time and physical existence. Our appearance, beliefs, or any other differences between us, are not important. We are all the same, intimately linked together by a shared spirit, alive to selflessly help each other in our journey through life.

We are more than who we are identified as. Those who do not believe they are, will never understand the true reason they were born. Only those who challenge this belief, awakening to the possibility they are more than just their labels, may begin a quest to discover their genuine life’s purpose.
