Be Relentless Podcast 23 - You Are Not A Special Snowflake
Sometimes a rant gets a little sidetracked! When the mic is on and you get in a mood... What can I say?
You know what holds back most people who start a training program, especially New Year's Resolutioners?
It's the Snowflake Phenomenon.
See, here's the deal.
It's true that every snowflake is unique. That's wonderful. The idea floating around the personal development world is that every person, like the snowflakes, is unique. That's awesome, and it's true.
BUT.
Snowflakes are all made from frozen water.
They're all crystalline.
They all fall from clouds.
Basically, snowflakes are like 80 or 90% the same as each other. It's only the shape, that 10 to 20% that is different.
People are the same way. And that's what we say we want: The simple answer that will work for everyone. But if we get it, we immediately point to our shape and say how we're different. You can't have it both ways, snowflake.
