I recently watched the Bob Ross documentary. I remember seeing his smile and hearing his soft voice wash through the channels when I was young. I didn't stop to watch his program or listen, but he did make an impression on me from afar.
I didn't know his story.
I did remember thinking it was cool what he did for work. That's back when I refused to believe being a full-time creative would ever be a possibility.
It was pre-internet, and I was a child. I'd been told forever to be practical, work hard, and choose something where you made good money.
Bob was in the midst of sharing how he became an artist, an inspirational one, teaching thousands of people how to paint over the course of his lifetime through live classes and his television show.
He helped some people get out of depression, learn something new, or create an entirely new hobby or business. That's when he said: “Talent is a pursued intere common to look at an artist, musician, decorator, baller real estate agent, coach, author, and think, “Wow… they were just born for that. I could never do that.”
When in reality, there has been an interest that the person, protégé, performer, creator has dedicated themselves to pursue.
🪴 If what you want to do and who you want to be has felt far off or like it needs some polishing up, what does it feel like to try on for size that your dream can be pursued and your very own skills and talent can be grown?
