This Month’s Focus
Part Three: Actor’s Faith
Today’s Class
Moments of Magic
Today’s Target
How do we know if we’re talented?
Talent is so tricky.
So ripe for insecurity.
Until now it has belonged in other people’s hands. They decide whether we’re talented or not.
And we internalize it.
No matter how long we’ve lived with our talent, no matter how many ways we’ve judged it, or watched it … we don’t know it the way we deserve to know it.
Because when we know our talent - when we capture undeniable moments of our talent - we grow undeniable faith in that same talent.
What type of things will you reach for … when you know you can?
This week we’re introducing a teammate and guide.
A powerful new tool for your artistry that reveals your talent, sharpens your talent, builds an undeniable faith in your talent … all while growing a habit of fearless, artistic expression.
