What you do can’t define who you are because what you do can change anytime and is beyond your control. If your sense of worth comes from your job, what happens if you get fired? Who are you then?
There is a real danger in identifying too strongly with what we do for a living. Once that definition goes away the path toward rebuilding a sense of self will be a long, arduous, traumatic and painful one.
