Two things stop people from taking action on the ideas that they have to make their own lives, their communities, their workplaces, families, and the world a better place.

They think that they’re not special enough…or
They think they’re too special to work hard for it.

Both of these beliefs are just as harmful, because both of them rob the world of what what we have to give.

Both of them are about seeing ourselves as different, special, and other.

They are two different sides of the same coin, or for today’s purposes- two different sides of the same snowflake.

We all have these snowflake moments! There’s no shame in it as long as we call it what it is; a snowflake moment. A moment where we think we’re a little more or less special than everyone else.

Because it’s okay to be a snowflake if that means you realize you are a once ever happening complete miracle of a human being that has drop dead gorgeous things to do and say and be in the world.

AND if you realize that everyone else is just that special too.

It’s a freaking blizzard out there. When we can overcome our separateness and illusions of otherness, that’s when we start really living with the freedom and the power to make our ideas real.

What you’ll learn in today’s episode:

Examples of the snowflake moments that sneak up on us
What become possible when we realize that we’re incredibly special, and that everyone else is too
How entitlement and self depreciation both step from ego
How freedom from both of those things allows us the self worth to walk away from anything that detracts from our power
How clarity, peace, passion and curiosity replace snowflake syndrome
How we can begin to hear the whispers of possibility that have always been there, when the snowflake noise dies down

Freedom, healing, and ideas that create a better world come when every single one of us realizes that we are in fact undeniably and unbelievably special…and EVERYONE else is too.

Because the only way that we can have a snow pack is if we allow ourselves to be a snowflake. AND the only way that we can have a snow pack is if we understand that everybody else is one too.
