We need you, really

Each of us has art.

You have art. You may not believe me. And that is okay. But just journey with me for a moment.

I'm not talking painting, drawing, or sculpting...

I agree with Seth Godin when in his book Lynchpin he writes that art is anything that is creative, passionate, and personal; affects both the creator and the viewer; and is about intent and communication rather than substances.

Godin writes, "An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo." and "Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient."

And then I had this thought that if, for instance, Blake Mycoskie, had never existed, we would never experience shoes the same way. If Michelangelo had never existed, we would never be able to experience the sistine chapel the same way. If Peter Drucker had never existed, we wouldn't experience Management the same way. If Steve Jobs had never existed, we wouldn't experience computing the same way.

And so my question is this: What is the world not experiencing because you are not courageous enough to create it into existence?

Because if you are not practicing and honing your art, then we can never be inspired by it.

And we need you to inspire us. 

I wonder what might be holding you back?

If you would, I'd love for you to share with me what your art is. If you are unsure, I'd love to help you discover it. Contact me. Really.
