Snowdrop Girl
Someone has to go first. It could be you.
What this friend is telling you
Snowdrop Girl's flowers bloom while snow is still on the ground. First ones up, before it is warm, before it looks safe. That takes nerve. Being first always does. First to say sorry. First to raise your hand. First to go stand next to the kid everyone is laughing at. Here is what snowdrops know: once one flower blooms, the whole field gets braver. Your "first" gives everyone else permission.
Watch out for…
waiting for everyone else to go first. Sometimes everyone is waiting for you.
Try this
This week, go first once. First to apologize, first to volunteer, or first to say hi. Just once. Watch the field follow.
