Do not confuse your circumstances with your identity
Where you are is not who you are!
So many times we judge others (and ourselves!) by the chapter we walked in on! And it is important to remind yourself to not confuse your circumstances with your identity.
You may be in a season of struggle right now, (and hey there my friend, welcome to the party) or you might be dealing with loss or pain. But remember, those are circumstances. You are not a struggling person, you are a person experiencing struggle.
Who you are is so much more than where you currently are in your life. You are a resilient, powerful and ever evolving being who is just moving through this season of life. Circumstances change. Situations evolve.
And where you are is not who you are.
