A title is a role. So are father, husband, the provider, the strong one. You are not your job, your status, your past or your achievements. You wear them, and some days they wear you.
So what is identity? A bundle: your roles, your history, what other people say you are, what you tell yourself. All useful. None of it is all of you. Identity is what you hold. The observer is the one holding it.
When the title goes, the mind says: then I am nothing. That is the narration again. What is left is the one who has been watching all along, the one who caught the thought in step 1.
One question

Carry this
I am more than my roles. I am the awareness in which they arise and change.
