What Costume Did You Choose?

Each of us is a beautiful and unique soul. At our most basic level we each were created as a bright point of light. We come to this earth to learn many lessons but before we get here we choose a visual 'costume' to wear. Some of us choose to inhabit difficult costumes to help facilitate or even accelerate the lessons we've chosen to learn. Our costumes are temporary and when we leave this earth, we leave our costume behind and go back to our natural state as a bright point of light. So what costume did you choose and how has it affected your life?
