I know what you are saying. Brett is off his meds. Stick with me.
In today’s environment, being called a snowflake is a pejorative. How about we think about this in a different context?
This past week many parts of the country received wintery weather. Missouri was one of those states. When I was leaving my office, there were just a few flakes floating around. My car was cold and being dark in color, each snowflake stood out individually. I took time to study each snowflake’s unique structure. No two flakes are the same.
This is true of us as well. Each person is a unique creation made in the image of God. Many of our differences are readily apparent. Some of us will share the same height or weight but, no two people look exactly alike. Not even if they are identical twins. Those are our physical appearances. Our individuality doesn’t end there. What if we look below the surface of the skin?
Aside from our physical attributes, we are a collection of talents, skills, abilities and other qualities. Our personalities determine how these elements manifest themselves. The collection of these components constitutes the individual. They affect our life decisions, career path, spouse, circle of friends and how we interact with the world.
Every one of us is unique just like a snowflake. Take two salespeople, for instance. They are in the same profession. They may be selling the exact same product or service. Each one will craft their sales pitch differently. They will deliver it with a different tone or affectation. They will use different words, different hand gestures and different body language. One salesperson may connect with their audience while the other will not. One salesperson may close a sale with their prospect while the other salesperson fails to sell to the same person.
I have had this exact thing happen to me volunteering with Convention of States Action. I have had legislators that I have simply not connected with. One of our other volunteers (usually a constituent) will speak to the legislator, explain things a little differently and have a successful meeting. This is one of the wonderful things about working with our grassroots.
Ask yourself what your own talents and abilities are. Surround yourself with people with different skill sets and abilities. Learn from them but do not try to be exactly like them. They are unique just as you are. Integrate the things you learn into your knowledge base and apply your own gifts.
Convention of States Action has volunteer roles in all sorts of areas. There is a role where each person’s abilities can be applied to a volunteer role. Whether you have an hour a day, an hour a week, an hour a month or an hour a year, there is something that can be done with that time to save our republic and restore our Constitution. Go to www.conventionofstates.com to learn more about our mission. Talk to a Convention of States Action volunteer and learn why they decided to work with COSA. It is our goal to find the right fit for you to utilize your gifts.
In liberty,
Brett
