<p><br></p> <p>Hello, this is AJ. Welcome to our next lesson. Today's lesson is called "ldentity." Your</p> <p>identity is what you believe about yourself so this topic is a little bit similar to the topic of</p> <p>beliefs. We've talked a lot about beliefs before remember? Limiting beliefs and</p> <p>empowering beliefs. Identity is really an important kind of belief or beliefs really, it's a</p> <p>collection of beliefs, about yourself. The reason this is important, more important than</p> <p>just normal beliefs, is because these are global beliefs.</p> <p>Now by global I mean some that affects everything. It covers everything. Global comes</p> <p>from globe which means all of the world. But we're not internationally here. Here global</p> <p>means everything, covering everything, about everything. So global beliefs are beliefs</p> <p>that affect everything else. Your global beliefs affect all your other beliefs. They</p> <p>influence all your other beliefs. They influence all of your other emotions. They</p> <p>influence everything. They're kind of the most fundamental beliefs, the core, deepest</p> <p>beliefs, the central beliefs. And other beliefs come from them.</p> <p>So you're already been thinking a lot about your beliefs related to English, for example.</p> <p>But now I want you to think about the beliefs you have about yourself, who you are.</p> <p>What kind of person you are, what your abilities are. These are very, very important.</p> <p>You need to choose them because most of us grow up and we learn them from other</p> <p>people. We don't even know its happening. For example, we grow up thinking we are</p> <p>citizens of a certain country. And that's true, of course it's true. But if we identify too</p> <p>much, if that belief is too strong, we can become negative, possibly even violent</p> <p>towards people from other country. Say "I'm an American. I'm an American, American</p> <p>is number one! I'm the best. Everyone else sucks." Well, believe it or not, there are</p> <p>people in the United States
