If who you perceive yourself to be is who you physically are, then you are just too lucky. Be happy, but be thankful. You would be a sunshine for those who are struggling.

If you can align who you perceive yourself to be with your physical self, then you have done well. You would be an example to those who are trying.

But if you can't change who you perceive yourself to be, move on - you don't have forever. If you spend your whole life trying to change how your perceive yourself, you're not going to have any time left to achieve anything. Some people decide to change their physical selfs to match how they perceive themselves. They took a stand in life, and stepped forward. It is great courage, and they will be an inspiration.

Whoever you are, move on and come to terms with yourself. If you have been through the struggle and finally come back home to yourself, you would have learned the gifts forgiving and accepting. You would be a great encourager and healer.

If you can't come to terms with who you perceive yourself to be - whatever you achieve in life, at the end of the day, could come to mean nothing to you. Perhaps you would be a hero. Perhaps the world would know you - but what would it mean, if at the end of a whole lifetime, you never got the chance to get to know yourself?
