Do You Freely Share Your Artistic Skills and Talents or Hold Back?

Sharing your skills and talents can be both exciting and terrifying.

Everyone is a creator. But what that means is wildly variable.

What most create is simple, but important. It might work with a necessity in your life, cover a basic need, or otherwise serve you. Thus, you’re a creator, but not necessarily an artist.

Artists are creators who produce specific creative works to expand beauty, minds, ideas, and the world at large. That might seem grandiose — but it’s true. When you create art, that art will have an impact — good, bad, or otherwise. What you create is a part of the growth process of all humanity.

Books, paintings, sculptures, architectural wonders, delicious recipes, and all other works of art impact the world. New ideas, new color combinations, and new stories that help with the overall growth of life, the Universe, and everything.

This is especially true when you share your skills and talents with the world. Putting your art out there to be seen and/or purchased contributes to the world in some way or another.

And that is probably why many hold back rather than share their skills and talents.
