In this world where everything is measured, compared. rated and categorized, it’s tempting to create a narrative that sets us apart and allows us to be noticed, recognized, admired and respected. In doing this, we don’t intend to distance ourselves from others, but that’s what happens. It’s easy to feel that we can’t be special without being different. If we focus on our differences, we create a separation between ourselves and others. When we disproportionately focus on the differences, we lose sight of the fact they are minuscule compared with what we have in common…
Almost everything.
