Are you an artist?
Of course you are!
Whether you make art for the world, or to earn your income, or just for yourself when the mood strikes, you are an artist.
Whether you are a painter, a writer, a musician, a dancer, a poet, ....
you are an artist
As human beings, we are driven to create. It's in our blood. It's literally in our DNA.
How can you tell that you are an artist?
We say...
...if you can speak, you can sing.
...if you can move, you can dance.
...if you can write, you can draw.
Every time you speak, you are making art with sound.
Every time you walk, you are dancing.
Every time you dream, you are are making a film.
The rest is technique -- methods you can learn:
How to hold a paintbrush and mix paints to make a watercolor.
How to set the aperture and the f-stop to create a photograph.
How to press the right keys to play an arpeggio..
How to dance like a graceful bird.
The important thing is that the techniques serve the expression that flows from your soul.
And that's something no one can teach you.
You are the only one who can create what you want to create.
So the next time you speak, or walk, or write, be aware of how you are doing it.
Do it with intention, with grace and with love.
See how your life changes!
