Thinking Out Loud:

Spread the love

Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.

Erica Jong

NOTE: Discovering and following our talent takes great courage. It means, in many cases, letting go of what we’re doing now to go after something our heart tells us is the right choice. Choosing to follow your talent often means great sacrifice, enduring numerous setbacks and criticism. It’s as if the universe is asking us if we’re worthy of possessing the talent. It is assessing our courage and fortitude as we pursue it. The quest in following our talent, is akin to Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. If we dare to follow our talent, the quest will change us. Are you ready for the change?
