Ladyslipper – Singularity – Like everyone else, you are unique

Warriors Aren’t Robots: Find your special contribution and stop Comparing yourself to others!

DREAMS – Today’s card speaks to you. Do you dream of feeling alone in a crowd? Are you always walking in a different direction? Do you feel ganged up on, bullied? The Ladyslipper card represents all that Uniqueness out there, and because there are so many of us, there is a lot of singularity! If you doubt it, consider the humble snowflake.

Be Proud of Your Specialness – We are civilized into groups, but society only advances because of its singletons, so even if you never do anything about it, honor the ways in which you are different. Respect your own uniqueness and don’t allow others to shame you for it. The world needs warriors like you.

Challenge – We spend a lot of time accommodating other people and trying to figure out how to get along with them. How about figuring out your own extraordinariness and imagining ways to accommodate that? Create a Vision Board, collecting visual images of the kind of warrior you’d like to be. Our Training Journal offers a space to strategize.

Danger – Narcissism is a real danger in our society. People are encouraged to perform, push themselves forward and try to harvest as many “likes” from absolute strangers as their outrageousness possibly can. Honoring your uniqueness begins in absolute privacy as you contemplate your real self and the last time you expressed it. Could be quite long ago! Go back as far as you need to. Ask yourself the question: Is cultivating the tiny attention span of total strangers the healthiest mental building block for you?

Opportunity – It’s never too late to change direction, especially when you find out you’ve been traveling the wrong way. What would it mean if you did things your way, for once? Let’s imagine some scenarios.
