When one has spent time and effort to build a "role persona" for others to see, such as the decisive boss, the omniscient teacher or charismatic socialite, it is easy to get lost if it is just a fascade and not who the person is at the core. Who are we? While playing many roles in life isn't uncommon, I think getting lost is. How can you find yourself if not lost to begin with? (Or if not lost, unknown.)
