Yes, we’re all artists.
But some of us shouldn’t exhibit.
These wise words should be seared into all our psyches. And anyone who doubts them should be made to visit the Sunday art fair on the railings separating London’s Green Park and Piccadilly…
(Spoiler alert: It’s all terrible.)
Of course, being creative is a natural state for humans, but some of us are definitely better at it than others.
For example, we can all dance – there’s no doubt about that – but some of us have the wisdom to sit out during those moments when the dance floor beckons.
Now I know this might be the most obvious thing in the world to state, but sadly we live in a world where increasingly everybody thinks they can do everything. And that they should inflict it on everyone else.
Well the answer is no, you shouldn’t.
Just because technology has made it easier to create and express yourself does not mean you’re any good at it. Every day I’m inundated with badly written, poorly constructed, uninformed blogs.
Please.
STOP
Do us all a favor and find something useful to do.
One of the great skills in life is to recognize talent and respect it. Recognize your own and you’ll learn more and feel far more satisfied.
