Your Essence

Think about this: What if you cannot change who you are? Your essence is always your essence.  All you can do is add to it.

You come to this world as an innocent child and then you start evolving as you react/respond to those around you and your environment. Then, at some point, you start working on undoing all the walls you have built to get back to your essence. This work of recognition is what adds to your essence.
