The Personal Identity Crisis

The personal identity crisis is changing the face of our communities. We have a duty to reverse the tide!

This is a message of hope because knowledge is power. By understanding what a personal identity crisis is, you will have the tools to create real change not just in your life but in the workplace, in your family, and in your community.

Don’t count yourself or anyone you know out of the game as too far gone until you truly understand what is behind the growing sense of lack that millions of people are suffering from.

Why should you care? Because the identity crisis is a pandemic far worse than Covid-19, the Black Death, or any other disease known to man. It is what is changing the face of communities at a breakneck pace. It is the reason the world order is being threatened. Like a chasm created by a shift in the tectonic plates, there is a vacuum—a no-man’s-land—that thousands of people every day are falling into as a result of a personal identity crisis, and yet they don’t know why. Free-falling, in fact.

The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that more than one in five adults in the United States live with a mental illness. [1] Those who are seeing doctors and therapists are being treated for their symptoms, not the root cause of their disease. Psychotherapists are struggling to figure out where and when their patients’ issues came about. They point to a childhood trauma, mommy or daddy issues, or even blame the DNA for their patients’ issues. Issues such as depression, obesity, anorexia, bulimia, PTSD-like symptoms, alcoholism, drug addiction, and anxiety. The symptoms that many people are suffering from cannot be traced to their DNA. The origin of many people’s problems is not something a doctor or therapist can help diagnose. Western medicine is of no use when it comes to a personal identity crisis.

Most of the people who are suffering from an identity crisis are looking for someone or something to throw them a lifeline. They think that a new partner, a job change, or a new life is what they need.

Many of these people blame an event from their past or a person for where they are in life and for the way they feel. They think that someone or something is responsible for their growing sense of lack. They can’t come to terms with the fact that they alone are responsible for their inability to lose weight, overcome their addiction(s), find true love, or get the promotion.

Blaming someone or something other than yourself would at first seem logical because you wouldn’t unwittingly harm yourself, hold yourself back, push the pause button on your life, or assume the power to create real change is outside of you. It would seem unfathomable that you would be behind the unkind emotions swimming around inside of you. These emotions, which are ruling and ruining your life, have no doubt created many detours, regrets, and misfortunes.

What if you discovered that you’ve been lying to yourself?

The hard, cold fact is that the growing sense of lack and their pain is, in many cases, caused by them identifying with something or someone and not their truth and the truth. They are, in essence, assuming a false identity.

Much like a caterpillar sheds the chrysalis and transforms into a beautiful butterfly, you can rise to new heights and change your life once you step into your personal truth and “the” truth. It takes both human and divine action.

Are you ready to take back your life?

Are you ready to uncover the real you?

Are you done feeling as if you are merely surviving life?

Let’s together change the trajectory of your life.

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:8 KJV).
