"You are born an artist or you are not. And you stay an artist, dear,
even if your voice is less of a fireworks. The artist is always there."
Maria Callas
There is responsibility in honoring the artist within whether specializing in fishing lures or fashion design. Setting a decorative dining table for twelve might be a joyful experience for one while a picnic in a park meets the creative needs of one other.
The focus is not on the talent itself, but whether or not we use it. No matter how great or small, the gifts we are born with are intended to be celebrated. Authentic use of our imagination lights up our lives and ripples the creative energy out into the world. The size of the audience, great or small, has absolutely nothing to do with our singular responsibility.
So what is it that we do well? What talent do we have? The compliments we receive, what do they pertain to ... a strength we take for granted. Which action is it that lights up our skies or burns passion in the heart? Find the spark, my friend, and set imagination on fire!
