"Our personas convince us that there is nothing that we don't know about ourselves --
that we are in fact the person we see in the mirror and believe ourselves to be.
But the issue with this is that once we have brought into the story of 'this is who I am,'
we shut the door on any other possibility and deny ourselves access to all of who we can be.
We lose our ability to choose, because we can't do anything outside the confines of the character we're playing.
The predictable persona we've constructed is now in control.
We become blind to the immense possibilities for our life."
