Think of yourself and all who may come into your circle of contacts as beautiful snowflakes. (Note, I cm not referring to “flakey”!) As we are aware, each snowflake is of a unique design. We are led to believe that out of the trillions that fall every year, there are no two alike! Then think of the beautiful snowdrifts, winter scenes, icicles and frosted windows, all composed of trillions of snowflakes forming a huge panorama, ever changing, shifting and drifting; yet still remaining a beautiful work of art even as it melts and seems to disappear so that new growth can spring forth at the end of Winter.
When you regard each person as a unique personality having a distinct personality with various talents and sometimes aggravating qualities, we can often tolerate the minor offensiveness while we concentrate more upon the talents and gifts they have to offer, because you are aware of a bigger picture composed of trillions of people all over the world and you will never find any two exact duplicates even though some may be similar. Even twins have some minute characteristic that distinguishes them as individuals.
The next time you become aggravated with yourself or someone else, think of yourself and others as merely snowflakes, joined together in a magnificent panorama of beauty, realizing we can appreciate and enjoy the differences, because one snowflake cannot make a snowdrift!
