Frequently we fail to find anything good about ourselves, think we have zero talent or ability to do anything of value. Many grow up in an environment of discouragement, even told they lack talent during the formative years.
Sometime it may be challenging to find your special ability, but it is in there. Perhaps you need to look outside the box, take a risk, try something new. Start with any desire and follow the path it takes you on with an open attitude.
Recognize that you only have to please yourself, not the many self-appointed critics more than willing to share their not so professional opinions.
Be yourself, express yourself freely with joy. Stop any critical thinking flowing inside your brain, whether implanted by others or self imposed.Your creative ideas do not need to meet those of others; "their" creative thoughts.
Encourage yourself and others towards a more playful, creative and joyful life. Dance, sing, act, write, design, whatever floats your boat in life and fills your soul with lightness of being.
Our family is full of talented spirits willing to accept the risk of ridicule in the arts. I am very proud of their courage to follow their creative passions.
The picture above is an example of our daughter's artistic passions for photography, one of many talents Amy possesses.
Erin, our other daughter, is an extremely talented writer and editor, creative in other areas as well.
Unashamed to promote them....please check out their links below for more info.
