Here’s a very simple example of specialness: I felt it when I achieved that. ‘That’, is anything that created a considerable amount of self-belief in you, and made you believe for the first time that you are capable. We all assume we are capable, because nobody would like to believe otherwise. But it remains theoretical until you have achieved something that not only becomes a reference point for yourself in the future—I was able to achieve this, this is who I am— but also proves to yourself that you have what it takes to be capable—I believe I can achieve anything I put my mind to.
