24-31. More than my Label

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from July 30th

I AM SO MUCH MORE THAN MY LABEL. Why do we become our label when all it is is a challenge we have to live with?

I have A.D.D. and Dyslexia, + and these are challenges I live with, but they do not define who I really am. I am so much more than these labels. They are just parts of my experience, not the essence of my identity. My true self is a complex, multifaceted individual with unique talents, passions, and perspectives that go beyond any label.

So, I choose to focus on what I can do, not on what isn’t meant for me. I embrace my strengths and refuse to see anything else as a weakness. I am committed to being the best version of myself, acknowledging my capabilities and celebrating the unique qualities that make me who I am.

It’s natural to feel frustrated when labels seem to define us more than we’d like. Labels can be limiting because they often focus on a single aspect of our identity or experience, overlooking the complexity and richness of who we are as individuals. Here are a few reasons why labels can become so prominent:

  1. Simplification: Labels simplify complex human experiences and identities into easy-to-understand categories. This can help others understand or relate to us but can also oversimplify and reduce our individuality.
  2. Society and Perception: Society often relies on labels for categorization and organization, which can lead to stereotyping or pigeonholing people into specific roles or expectations.
  3. Self-Identification: Sometimes, we internalize labels as a part of our self-identity, which can be both empowering and restrictive. A label can provide a sense of community and belonging but can also feel confining if it doesn’t capture the full scope of who we are.
  4. Communication: Labels can serve as a shorthand in communication, making it easier for others to understand certain traits or experiences, but they might not capture the full story.

To move beyond labels, it can be helpful to focus on the aspects of your identity and experiences that are meaningful to you. Embrace the diversity and complexity of who you are, and share your unique perspective with others. Remember, you are more than any label—you’re a multifaceted individual with a rich, unique enriched life.

JUST BE YOU IN ALL YOUR UNIQUE GLORY.
