An accurate definition of the self is probably quite impossible to find. We are much more than we realise or can define. The more time we spend trying to put a definition on it the less time we spend living right now in the now. Our past is not our identity, although it does play a part in how we deal with our life and its issues. We need to remember though living in the now is our identity, we only have the now, the now is the future.
