It is not obvious to an immature person how they are Special in a good and unique way. Instead they think of their difference as being a drawback. Once we begin to celebrate our special personalities we get the point that our distinctive physical features are only skin deep; that our emotional proclivities can be modified; and that our intellectual boundaries can be breached. But most of all we begin to learn how to grow our soul. The most Straightforward and successful method is through the acquisition of values.
Peace,
Jim
