We identify ourselves with external things. He provided an extensive list of identifiers. These are the ones that hit home for me: the work you do, physical appearance, relationships, family/personal history, money, belief system, religion, and race. I would also add gender.

I saw my profile in the clouds the other day looking back at me. My long neck, a little bit of a smile, a tiny nose and one eye in this white cloud below.
I am discovering my "secret to life". We all have one.
