Make It Rain - Leonardo da Vinci Paintings to Song Lyrics - Make it Happen Pt. 2

Part Two:

Leonardo da Vinci paintings, fantasy artwork, the next best selling novel or lyrics to a song in your future? Those feelings that I can do any of those things or at the very least improve on where I am now, if I try, will improve who I am and how I feel about myself, to say nothing of reaching a wanted goal.

Make it rain, yes, I believe I can do anything.

Creativity is peeking in on me to see if I am trying or if I am merely getting by and spending my time just wishing.

Understand your own talent evolves from the practice of what you feel in your longings.

You have it, if you feel it, but it does not know light unless you cradle it often.

Honor your own existence and personal beliefs by forming something that did not exist before. Know that you did the best you could in developing it. What an amazing gift that is possible for anyone who chooses to try.

It's in the practice because of your wanting.

Make it rain.

There may be short cuts, yes I suppose there are, but to create great art, the effort needs to be made continually with constant flow and input into ones own talent.

I always say that "Talent is desire and the rest is practice".

Make it rain.

I say this to myself. I say it every time I know I am being lazy and not putting in the effort to actually fulfill the plans in my head. It takes devotion to accomplish anything at all. It is funny that people often think that art is something one is born with and because of that it explodes or not. It is elusive yet it must be encouraged to become something tangible. It must be charmed and romanced. It also must be held accountable and know consequences, or else we fool ourselves into thinking something is good, when really, it may not be.

Nothing comes for free unencumbered by effort.

Smile.

Is talent a gift that requires no work to improve upon it?
I was born an artist and everything I paint is from the heart, that is all I need.
I don't believe in coloring within the lines, talent is from the heart and that is all.
Talent is a gift yes, but it needs to be nurtured.
