I believe learning something new is always a fruitful way to expand your creative thinking.
Recently, I took a workshop that focused on a style of mosaic art I had not tried before. I welcomed the challenge at first, but became quite frustrated with my inability to master the task. In the end though, I realized this style just wasn’t my thing.
Looking back, I could have felt really bad that I didn’t achieve the result I wished for. I could have perceived this outcome as a failure. But instead, I confirmed that I create in my own style. An artistic approach I’m comfortable with and I’m good at is more than enough for me.
I don’t have to be good at everything, just good at my thing.
I say choose your lane, focus on your strengths and be proud about what only you can create... be you and let others be them.
There’s room for all of us.
