Don’t Waste Time Wondering If You Are Talented Enough?


Certain questions need to be avoided.

The kind of questions that pray on our insecurity, that paralyze us with fear, that keep us bound to a state of constant inadequacy.

These are not good questions.

Don’t waste time wondering if you are talented enough; the question is nearly always asked from a position of insecurity, from a base of expected failure.

As a small child I remember being convinced that I couldn’t swim without holding onto a soccer ball as a flotation device… until one day my father roughly pulled the ball away from me AND I swum like a champion to the end of the swimming pool.

You can do amazing things when you let go of all that keeps you comfortable…

    This has a great message, but I might add that questioning one’s level of skill/talent is not a bad idea. I am putting guitar compositions out there, but I am also reading a rather difficult book on species counterpoint in order to add to my skill set. You can yank the soccer ball away, but some of us will drown because we were under the illusion that we knew what we were talking about.
