What is our Identity

Identity, do you know what that really means?  We use the term for who you are and what you stand for, it is the combination of many layers of our personality and unconsciousness that together makes us unique.  Knowing this makes all the difference in our fast-paced and ever-changing world. This is where the idea of an “identity compass” comes into play, acting as a personal guide through life’s twists and turns so we can keep following our North Star towards the destiny we want.

Drawing insights from experts like Dr. John Demartini and Rory Kilmartin, Gary Chapman, Tony Robbins and Roger Hamilton allows us to blend their concepts to create the complete fabric of who we are.  These experts spent decades studying human behaviour and crafting their findings into something for everyone to be able to learn from.

By blending each of the concepts from wealth dynamics and personality profiling through to love language and archetypes, we can see why understanding these layers of who we are is so crucial to living a fulfilling life that follows the path of least resistance.  Our compass helps us to make decisions unconsciously about what we really want from our lives, what will make us happy and how we show up to others.

What do the Experts say?

Dr. John Demartini teaches us that living in tune with our highest values not only brings clarity and focus but also fills our lives with purpose and passion. It’s about aligning what we do with what we truly value, ensuring every step we take is a step toward our true desires.

Rory Kilmartin’s exploration of archetypes helps us dive deeper into who we are. By figuring out which archetype resonates with us, we can unlock our strengths and navigate our relationships more effectively, bringing a sense of harmony and understanding to our interactions.

Tony Robbins’ human needs are about the basics of our identity and help us to avoid stress and all the mental effects that today’s world brings us.  understanding our human needs—from security, variety, significance or connection to growth and contribution—ensures we’re leading a balanced and fulfilling life. It’s about meeting these needs in a way that’s true to us.

Roger James Hamilton created Wealth Dynamics personality profiling offers a fascinating lens to view our professional lives, but is also applicable to our personal lives, or lives as a whole.  Wealth Dynamics is based on the 2500-year-old Iching, so these concepts are not new, they have guided the ancients for centuries.  Wealth Dynamics emphasises the power of playing to the strengths of our particular personality profile. Knowing where our natural talents lie helps us carve out a path that feels right and is primed for success.

Love Languages are one of the easier concepts to grasp and put into practice immediately.  There are five ways to feel loved and each of us has a dominant way.  It is no good just finding out how we feel loved the most, it is important to find out the love and appreciation languages of our partners, children and even colleagues.

I did not learn about love languages until after my first husband and I were divorced.  Would it have made a difference, probably!  My love language is acts of service, whereas my ex-husband’s is physical touch.  When he got home late I would rush to the kitchen to make him dinner, whereas what would have been better was to give him a cuddle on the sofa!

Principles like integrity and compassion aren’t just moral high grounds; they’re the bedrock of our interactions and decisions. They shape how we connect with the world and leave a mark on the people around us.
