Do I Know Who I Am?

Everything in life is choices.  We are constantly looking at decisions we can make, and options when it comes to our choices.  Each of us can decide to be aware, or choose instead to make no choices at all. For a long time, I wandered rather aimlessly through my life.  I went where the wind blew, changed jobs and relationships frequently,
