A lot of times we identify with something we think we are or have been told we are, good or bad. Most of my life I was told that I'm stubborn and I lived up to what people called out in me. I took it as a compliment growing up and still believe in some ways it can be. I'm tenacious and I will keep fighting for whatever the Lord puts in front of me. I've also been know to be stubborn to a fault.
Many of us try to hide certain aspects of ourselves that we don't want other people to see. Mine was the internal battle with old wounds. I didn’t want anyone to think they could hurt me again so I was super tough. That's how I identified myself. I wasn't allowing anyone to get through the wall I had placed around myself.
