You know one of my favorite interview questions is to ask someone why they are special. People become dumbstruck or better yet they look like a deer caught in headlights. We can easily talk about our skill sets and why we are qualified for a particular job. But when we get right down to the heart of who we are, why you are special seems to leave us baffled.
Yet if you ask a small child, why they are special, they have zero hesitation and zero limitations to their answers. A child might tell you that they are special, because they can jump, their parents told them so, they are beautiful, they are smart, they know how to share, they can color, they can run fast, and the list goes on.
What happens to us, as we become adults that we can not even put together a list of what makes us special? The fact is that we are all unique and amazing individuals that God created us to be.
So I ask you this today…...... Why are you special?

This would have to be one of the most confronting questions yet one of the most important! Thanks for getting me thinking Sandra!
So.. do you have an answer yet?
My favorite response to the question so far is "Because my mommy told me so" from a grown woman. :-)
That's a fantastic question to break the ice in any social gathering. After all, you often learn very little about the soul of a person based on what they happen to do for a living. If you read energies, auras, numbers, names and other subtle nuances, then you also have choices to watch and take in what you feel.
Liara,
You are so right. It is a great ice breaker question. It beats the standard so what do you do? This is also more revealing in a nonthreatening way.
