Honor your specialness. Honor your specialness. Look, we’ve got billions of people on this tiny planet, and yet there is no other person alive today quite like you. No one quite like the way that you talk. No one has the same fingerprints. No one walks exactly in the same way as you. No one has the same hopes and dreams as you. No one has had the same sufferings that you have. No one has become precisely the same person that you are. No one has the same potential you have. No one has exactly the same primal genius that lurks at your core. That makes you special.
Now, I’m not suggesting that you fall into what I call WRAM syndrome, W-R-A-M, world revolves around me. “Look, I’m so special. I’m entitled. I’m so special. World, give me a great living.” I see that all over the world. We live in this society of great entitlement. People don’t want to show up early. People are not committed to mastery in all cases. A lot of people are like, “Give to me,” and they become takers from their organizations and their marketplaces and their society versus understanding you get from the world what you give to the world. But the point on this first truth is honor your specialness, appreciate who you are. There is no one quite like you.
