Thank you for link. Greetings from multipotential psychologist/poet/textil artist/songwriter ;) . It is important topic!
@@romanowiczvlog3868 Wow, what a beautiful combination of passions you have! 😍 Thank you so much for being here, my friend.
Thanks Anna... I am a bit like that...once I get going and succeed, I am on to something else..although sometimes I choose to stay with a creative endeavour ... until now... ;)
I am a fiber artist and a felt artist ...I am also interest in making other things, mostly things I can wear or use... I need to create things that I feel are useful. I don't like such things as "dust collectors" but in reality...everything could be call a dust collector if not used ...haha ... thanks & take care ~
Dear Anna I try to get into the link and it doesnt
do anything
Can you somehow help me with it?....
@@chenkish5854 Hi, my friend! Maybe you've already registered with Skillshare? I've just checked the link on my other device and it works - it leads to a Skillshare login page saying that I (Ana Goldberg) give the user 1 month of Skillshare for free. This promo is only for new users of Skillshare. So maybe try a new login/email. 🌷
“Don’t have to prove your worth with results.” That definitely hits home for me.
People keep asking me "Is this going to give you any money? Why are you spending money in learning if you are not going to make money from this? Why are you are learning this new thing? Why cant you focus on something?" I stopped giving them attention or I asnwer a bit with sarcasm I'm affraid. I keep doing new things and having fun doing it. Now Im into gardening in my balcony. Looks like a jungle :)
Exactly, we should all continue doing/making things that we enjoy and that bring beauty and fulfillment, not money necessarily 😊 Congrats on your balcony jungle, Paula! I bet it looks fantastic 😍
I believe it is because you/ we creative people want to keep evolving, discovering and exploring new potential ideas and creations etc!
It’s not all about money, our soul needs to be fed/prayed too.
What we intend to do comes from ourselves, not from peoples suggestions what we should do to earn money as the main purpose.
Not Rocket Science really. ☺️
I love lush green balconies! 👌
Ugh...I hate that when people say it.
Just like me.
I had no idea that there was such a thing as "Multipotentialites" This is who I am. I have always created and moved through many types of mediums. I have done weaving, painting, jewelry making, bookbinding, wood carving, card making, candle making, sketching and drawing, and wool felting to name a few. I have always carried around guilt and shame for being this way. I was always told that I never followed through, that I had no commitment, and that I was lazy. I can't believe that there is a name for what I am. This video has really impacted me. I will need to watch it a few more times and really process what you have said. I would love to learn more about this as well. Thank you Ana for this video.
I recommend checking out Emilie Wapnick's work, she has a TedTalk and a book, I think she has built a community of MPs too.
I for sure will. Thanks for the tip. @@DavidLoveOfficial
A friend of my sons, 12 years old, passed away some days ago. This tragic event helped me understand that our mission on this Earth is to enrich our souls as much as possibile. We have to leave our body after experimenting, doing things, meeting people, making arts, feeling emotions... becoming more and more concious of the beauty of life, trying to do our best every single day, trying to make this world a little better place then we found it 🌟💫
I'm so sorry for this tragedy, dear Chiara... It's difficult to accept and understand. Sending much love and support to you and your son ♥
You've made a perfect point, my friend - we are here to enrich our souls with the beauty of life. So wonderfully said. And so inspiring. 🌷
@@anagoldberg I feel your soul so close, my sister 💚
I am so deeply sorry for this poor child and for everyone who has been traumatized by this event. But already you are creating purpose from this tragedy, turning it into a learning experience that ultimately will enrich your life in some way. Please know my thoughts are with you.
@@gingermcintosh6545 thank you so much 🙏🏼
It's so weird... Some things I always knew without really understanding, now are so vibrant and clear... I'm pretty sure this tragedy will turn into some miracles 💫
@@mammaditobia ❤❤❤
I've always believed that the only failure is not to try. Why limit ourselves when there are so many wonderful things to do and try in life?
So true, Colleen! 🌺
YES PLEASE MORE MULTIPOTENTIALITE CONTENT!!!!! I've only recently discovered the term and am still struggling with it - at first it fit so well and I allowed myself to do EVERYTHING :D and then I became overwhelmed by all the projects lying around unfinished and discovered that I have and want to get rid of some projects and prioritize others. As of today I've finished two major projects with important emotional meanings for myself and several smaller ones for friends. And I discovered that it feels good to finish things and sort of declutter my mental as well as physical space. So I guess my cycle is clutter space/starting projects and decluttering/finishing projects, and both really brings me so much joy!
"A personal cemetery of unrealised ideas" ... 🙋♀️ that's me! My multipotentiality is my blessing and my frustration. So many great new skills to learn and things to do, but don't have enough time to do them all. Yes, please more on this! 😊
Thanks ana for the video. I just wanted to clarify that being creative isn’t just about potential or artistic viability. It can be form of healing, like you said not all creative pursuits are done as a means to an end. In fact the expression of creativity is sometimes all that matters, all to often in this sometimes rigid world we need to be able to express this side of ourselves in an unselfconscious way. If it means dabbling in a number of creative pursuits and honing our curiosity, so be it. I don’t think being this way is at all a negative thing in my opinion. In fact if artistic expression was seen as more accessible and something that can be done easily and freely a lot of healing would come to the world.
It's a perfect point! I agree, artistic expression should be perceived as something easily accessible and real for all people.
💚
Ok, that is totally new idea for me. I always tough that I do not have a will and dedication to commit to some of my interests and beat myself over and over again for dropping it. I now need to go through this new idea that some of them are just short romance not look Ng term relationship. I will love to see more content about multipotential.
Thanks you Ana to give me a some fuel for a brain.
Hi Agata! I'm so glad the video resonated with you 😊Indeed, some interests are not made to last. I used to feel guilty about dropping out of things but acknowledging the multipotentialite nature really changed a lot. Thank you so much for being here 💚
Sounds like you have a renewed passion for your love. Best on ur path.
@@anagoldberg amazing how much we can learn from each other and how that allow to see things from different perspective. That video help me understand myself better.
Thank you for creating for us.
I’m going to have to think about this for a minute. My first thought was that I’m not creative at all. But then I realized I’m not creative in a productive sense; I’m not a crafter. But there are other possibilities. I love travel because I love exploring and getting to know new places and new people. I love grocery stores because I enjoy cooking new things. I love school because I enjoy learning new things. One of the things I love about living in my car is all the things I am learning about living a different lifestyle. I have never been especially good about science or math, but I am becoming knowledgeable about solar power and components of solar energy systems. And I can teach others, which brings me great satisfaction.
I also admire greatly other people’s adventures. My friend Lisa is a talented quilter. Not long ago she bought some rope and announced she wanted to learn to make rope baskets. Her first attempts were not terribly successful. Then she got it! Now she is crafting the most gorgeous and creative baskets, dying rope and weaving in appropriate trinkets, buttons and trims. And it brings me glee to see each of her new creations. This is the same curiosity and joy that fuels my enjoyment of museums, art shows, galleries and craft fairs. Not to own or consume but just to drink in and enjoy. I suppose some of us have to be observers; all creators need an audience, if only to provide feedback.
Thank you Ana! As usual you have given me something to think deeply about. I’m going to be watching as perhaps I am creative in my way, even though I am not producing results. What are all the ways living is creative?
I hope this finds you in comfortable and engaging surroundings. I am starting cardiac rehab on September 15th. I hope that will help me get in better shape. Also preparing to rent my little house out for the winter and move back into my car. Excited to be back out in the desert and see my desert friends. I got a newer, somewhat larger car, which I am excited about turning into a little home. Many tasks and projects coming up.
Much love Ana and Brian, my friends on the other side of the world. Thank you internet for allowing us to connect!
Love to all Ana’s followers! We are becoming a little community!
Dear Ginger, I truly believe that the whole process of our life is the act of creativity and we all can co-create together with nature, science, spirits or anything else we trust. Your story and wisdom are always a source of great inspiration and admiration for me. Thank you so much! Sending you warm thoughts and love from both of us 💙
Thank you so much again Ana for your so important and inspiring video 🙏❤️
This hit home spot on!
I can indeed call myself a Multipotentialite ☺️.
I love to do many different things when it comes to Crafting, and have even more ideas in my head!
Love to ”explore” what is my Thing!
The only thing that is hindering me is illnesses and lack of energy.
But I never give up hope to one day feel stronger, maybe even in good health again.
Meanwhile I do what I can do.
Lots of Love and hugs 🤗❤️
Hope soon you'll have more energy and opportunity to create, dear Anne 🌷 You're already doing a lot. Sending much love and support to you!💚
I love this video and have watched your channel for some time. I have always thought of myself as someone who can never "stay" with one thing as a negative trait..but to be multipotential gives it a whole other viewpoint.
I would love to see you discuss more on this topic in the future.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, we're often told that jumping from one thing to another is "bad", while it's just a special spirit of exploration that multipotentialites have 😊
I just love this video! It's so full of positivity and great advice. Here on this page I heard for the first time about the notion of multipotentialism. Apologies if I'm not saying it right. I like that idea, actually I love it. It gives a name to how I feel about life and peoples purpose in it. So much food for thought 😊 Thank you, Ana!
I'm so happy the video resonated with you! Thank you for being here, dear friend 🌺
I can definitely relate to this
Sometimes the ideas come so quickly that I get overwhelmed. I started jotting things down on scraps of paper, sticky notes etc, it got messy. I have a small notebook for writing down notes now, but I lose track of which notes are where!
I have found that with age, I'm actually more excited to share with my friends the ideas and hobbies I've picked up. Where I feel insecure is when I see those much younger than me with very unique ideas, but in creative spaces people are so encouraging and generally positive, my ideas only expand through that insecurity :)
I used to create "pictures" by calligraphy pens. One "feather"-pic is now going to USA and will become a tattoo on a woman's arm or leg. I am glad, she is my first customer, this far 😁
That's so exciting! Cool :)
Wow, congrats, my friend! It's great news and inspiration 💙
Thank you for this perspective, it really explains why some of the things my teachers and mentors tried to tell me don’t seem to get through to me. I’ve been told so many times that I need to focus, choose a medium and then practice for years to get good at it, and that my problem is I skip from one thing to the next. But the thing is, eventually I get back to the things I really enjoy time and time again. And I get back to them with added experience from a different medium. Potentially, it can be a good thing. Not everyone’s goal is to become a master of one single art. It’s great to be a master, but the choice is inevitable: if you want to become perfect at one thing, you have to sacrifice a lot and have this strict focus. For me it would mean losing all fun and burning out pretty quick. So what’s the point? I hope there really is a way to get interesting results from a bit more scattered art path.
I really enjoyed how you put in words, Julia. Indeed, choosing just one thing means sacrificing other ones. Multipotentialites do refuse to choose!
"Focus!" they say. Yeah right. It's like squirrels and birds telling a fish how wonderful it is up in the trees, these nuts taste great, and on and on but the fish, curious, tries climbing the tree but does not get far. Telling me to focus is like telling the fish to climb! Forget it. I like the way you described things, beyond the useless focus advice.
Knowledge and experience is the only thing that nobody can take away from us ♥️
This is such a helpful video! I'm definitely a multi-potentialite and these tips are great. I know from experience now not to de-clutter or get rid of ALL my stuff in any one category ... it works better for met to pair down a little ... things like yarn I can donate any that is not my favorite but I need to keep some because inevitably I will go back to crocheting from time to time. Same with my bead work ... I like to make key-chains and things. Even sewing ... which I do a lot less of now, I kept my primary threads that I use and a very small amount of fabric but I did donate any that I was sure I wasn't going to work with. It feels better to keep the best and let go of only the true excess. Thank you for another great video Ana!
That's an important point non-creative, non-multitalented people don't understand. I find books like "Clutter's Last Stand" useful, but reducing stuff is counter-productive for us. I'll put something aside for a long time then suddenly one day realize what I need to do with it. I may need parts for a current project, so scavange parts from the carcasses of old abandoned projects. A "junk" box or "misc. parts" box is a vital tool for the mad scientist/artist, and the more the better!
I am one of these.I am not very accomplished but I am enthusiastic, I like my own taste and I love my original way of thinking, I try and fail then try until I achieve my goal then I do it for a while then I move on. Yes please, to your closing question😊 💚
Thank you, Ana! I needed this wise speech of yours so much. In only a short moment you have taught me to embrace all my unfinished projects and to see them with pride instead of feeling ashamed and see them as failiors. 🙏
I am so glad i found this video and I can't thank you enough for this. I was always told to just stick to one thing and become "the best" in it but I couldn't keep up with just one thing at all. My ex boyfriend told me that I am not "ambitious enough" because I didn't have a fixed goal in life and that he needed someone more goal oriented. My parents constantly force me to fit into one thing and even though i know they're just trying to help me find a career I didn't know how to explain them that I can't do one single job for my entire life and just used to cry for hours thinking I'll remain unemployed and a failure in life if I stay this way. I think this will be the beginning of a journey to embrace my multipotentiality and really become myself.
Finally I’ve come across a trait which fits me perfectly. I always felt insecure when I tell people that I’m starting a new project because of them looking at me like I’m scattered and can’t focus on one thing. Now I’m happy to know that I’m truly a different kind of person and I’m proud of it!
Wow! I love the embroidered pictures! Your collages are the perfect thing for this!
You do seem like a wonderful, inspiring teacher. Skill share would be lucky to have you as a teacher on their platform. But only if it’s right for you.
Love and peace!💛
Aww, thank you, Stacy! So sweet of you to say this 🤗
This is a good one. So many points apply to me. Thank you!
Beautifully put!
This is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing, this resonates deeply.
I've learned that while I must give myself permission to embrace new things because that is who I am, it is also key for me to prioritise & master certain things.
I would definitely be interested to see more content on this subject.
Thank you for this, these are wonderful tips and very encouraging and life-affirming. Society insists we all fit into little boxes and some of the best stuff comes from those who do not fit into those boxes.
Yes, we should all get rid of those stereotypical boxes in our heads and just live fully!💚
Such a wonderful video thank you for putting this out there it's really uplifting and inspiring!!
The conclusion of point number 12 of the list is a big truth ❤️
Such a great video! I have taken a lot of inspiration from it and now look with even more joy on my various creative projects. 😊
Thank you for the tips, I hope to use them!
Thank you for this well timed video. I find my perfectionism getting in the way of exploring new modes of creativity. I know that I ought instead to embrace the mistakes I make on projects as just opportunities to learn what doesn't work not failures.
Thanks for the great insights! ❤️❤️❤️
This is the best video! Thank you! I never knew there was a name for my wide range of interests! So cool!
😘
Great advice! Thank you!
Wonderful advice for those who are watching. Whether a multpitenialite or not. I enjoy many different creative things and am still trying new things and adding new skills. It makes me feel happy. Be well dear Ana and Bryan.
Ana I really enjoyed this content It helped me put a name on my creative process I get so many ideas going and projects sometimes I almost overwhelm myself. Thank you jean
Ana pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee try to make a skillshare class. on anything. it would be so fun and helpful!
Hey Ana! I'm glad u made a new video about multipotentialites😊
🌻🤗
Such amazing thoughts. Thank you so much.
So glad you liked the video, Caroline! Thank you 🌺
Such a lovely video and also helpful! Thank you❤️
I'm so glad you liked it, Anke! Thank you 💜
Very nice and insightful video. As always very heart centered.Ana, you always have great ideas and topics for your videos)))
Thank you so much, Michael! 🌷 We hope your travels are going well and safe, dear friend.
You are a true kindred spirit Ana. Blessings on you.
You're so kind, Claudia. Thank you 💜
Dear Ana , your video has brought peace to my heart
I'm so glad to hear this, Sara 💚
Ana, how can I say this...
I feel peace when I found you in this video.
I feel alone MANY TIMES in this crazy journey of being a multipotentialite. I developed many of my gifts/talents but still cannot feel like a career success and see results in my finances. This create fear and bring me down trying to do something for money only.
I have been always prosperous, just maybe in this time of my life I forgot to have fun doing what I love.
I love your concept of this channel and I truly believe there are few like us, with a mission to use our gifts to make a sweet and beautiful change in this world. Small or big, artists are the translations of the universe/god/life.
Thank you Ana
Hope one day we can talk
a simple thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts so a multipotentialite heart could find them.
I'm so glad the video gave you some comfort, Robin! Thank you 💙
I love your embroidered cards! I also have many creative projects going and love having a variety of things to learn about and keep my interest and my creativity flowing. You’ve given us a lot of good advice and encouragement.
In the future I hope you will share more about your life in your new country. I know I will never travel there and would enjoy seeing more of it through your eyes.
I'm so glad the video was helpful and encouraging, dear Cynthia! Of course, I will happily share our life updates and hopefully, will publish one this weekend 💜 Thank you for being here.
Hi Ana, thank you so much for this video. I didnt realise there, was such a thing as a multipotentiolite. No I realise I must be one. There are so many ideas and skills I enjoy trying and feel frustrated that I don't have enough time to try them or finish them all. So now after your video I dont feel so guilty about all my unfinished projects, which I hope to complete one day. Thank you for this discussion and any time you have more talks on rhis subject I would love to hear them. Take care Gale x
Never feel guilty about your many beautiful passions, dear Gale 💙 Thank you so much for being here, as always! Sending love.
Thanks for your empowering video. It´s so true, it should be about finding our own happiness., instead of follwing sociatl expectations of efficiency. So often I tried to "focus on one thing" as they say but it always felt so restricting, and actually made me sad after a time. Yes, it takes a lot longer working on 4 things at the same time! :D Buuut for me it´s so much more fun. so thanks for encouraging to move on our very own path to find happiness. best regards from the Netherlands.
Thank you!
Thanks, Ana. I feel better about myself after viewing this video.
🤗💙
Thank you thank you thank you!
Oh, I'm smiling so big reading your comment, Julie! 😊 You're equally inspiring to me and all the community as we share so many similarities here 💙
Thank you for this video. This is helpful to me at this point in my life where I’m feeling rather lost. I recently broke off a long term relationship and moved halfway across the country. I find myself so passionate and skilled in so many different areas that I’m overwhelmed in what area I should focus on to make a career out of.
I'm so sorry for your recent struggles, my friend 💙 Creativity and multiple passions do help overcome crisis.
You are so talented🥰🙏- this is an amazing video !!! Never heard of this term before “Multipotentialites” Always a pleasure to watch your videos lol ❤️💖💝
Thank you so much, dear Sharon 💚
Thanks for sharing ana. Have a great day
Thank you so much, Liam! You too☘
@@anagoldberg thanks ana
I never knew there was a name for it. For instance, I made a baby quilt from a piece of fabric which had crazy dolls clothing printed on it. No one else gets it, but I guess I saw the multipotentiality of it....In my circle of friends, we call those unfinished objects UFOs.
I love the UFO term a lot, Michele! 😊
Love your presentation. Creativity and exploration of new ideas is the engine that runs my life at this moment in my journey. I tried to learn and experience something new every day. I know that is never to much to expand my creativity and way of being. Thank you for sharing
I'm so happy the video resonated, dear Maria 💚 Thank you for being here.
This make me feel so good and also proud and empowered, thank you! From Costa Rica in Central America ♡
Sending lots of love back to you, dear Raquel! 💙 Costa Rica is such a beautiful country 😍
@@anagoldberg oh thank you! You are always welcome here!
I just thought I was crazy. Glad there’s a name for it.
Thank you for this, Anna
I'm so glad the video resonated with you, my friend 🌺 I understand your struggle with ADHD...
Ana i'd like to thank you for this from the bottom of my heart. I So recognized myself. But you vid gave me kind of....peace. I always struggel with my percetionism when I am following many different ideas. When I like something very much I am trying to Do it as good as possible and that makes kind of stress and pressure to me. So I was thinking that I maybe try to much.
This Video lets face again. Thats absolutely ok.
Greetz and blessings
I'm so happy the video brought you some comfort, dear friend 💙 Sending you much love!
Thank you so much!! For the last 8 years I have been doing outreach for the homeless. Started as something small and then in ways I still don’t understand, it has become national. International at times for refugee projects. Now, we’re a formal non profit and in 27 states and I have been so overwhelmed, because I don’t know how to write grants or do the things to allow us to serve more people. Not to mention that I’ve never paid myself, so if I can get a grant and do so, I can pay myself and save my own housing, since I am dealing with health issues. This is fantastic! They have a grant writing skill share. Thank you so much!
Wow! I'm so happy that you've found a class that you really needed 😍 You're doing such a fantastic job and I honestly admire your will, courage, and empathy... You're an inspiration 💙 Sending lots of love your way, dear friend!
Thank you, Ana, for validating my way of taking on projects. I have an embroidery piece I pick up when I find it that I have been doing freehand for years. I run hot and cold with projects like this, but that's okay.
I just signed up for SkillShare and selected some very interesting classes! I am super excited to try this out! Thank you, Ana!!! ❤️
Aww, I'm so glad to hear this, Linda! Hope you'll enjoy the classes there 😍
So inspired by this video
I'm so happy to hear this, Kim! 🌻
Draga Anastasija,
Hvala na rečima ohrabrenja,jer ja sam upravo takva osoba.Svašta me zanima i uvek nešto novo radim.Pre par godina sam naučila da pletem sa štapićima od novina i doslovno se zaljubila u to.Hvala ruskim youtuberkama na divnim master časovima.Skoro sam naučila ruski uz njih.Čak sam i prodala par korpica.
Volela bih da snimiš još koji video na ovu temu.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, draga Nena! Thank you for being here, my multipotentialite friend 💜🤗
If I didn't already have a skillshare membership I would have used the link. I am going to add the embroidery class to my list. Thank you for the video, I didn't know when I started watching how encouraging it would be. I had never heard 'multipotentialite' before you talked about it a few months(?) ago. I hesitate to call myself one (for fear of hubris, which is silly I suppose) but my collection of craft/art/sewing/building/baking supplies and projects over the years makes me think I must be one😆. I identified with much of what you mentioned and it made me feel better about not completely destashing things that I can't get to all the time and to allow for cycling through a variety of hobbies within reason. Thankfully I am the only one who criticizes my own hobby collection😅
You're definitely a true multipotentialite, Rachel! 🤗💚
Hello Ana. Good video. I share the same opinion on not telling people what you are planning to do, because there will always be some comments. Just do things and enjoy, that's sometimes what we need😁. If you can make money, it's fine and if not at least you have joy. Best wishes 🙏
Hello, Anita! Yes, joy from our creative processes is always paramount 🌷
Hi Ana, I am so impressed with how beautifully you speak English! I am in he process of learning French, Spanish and German. I dream of becoming fluent in them. You have encouraged me to continue my studies. Thank you ❤️
Anne
Hi Anne! You should definitely continue with the languages. And your message is also a reminder for me that I should finally revive my French and proceed with Serbian 😊💙 Thank you!!
@@anagoldberg ♥️
I so much like the name " multipotentialite" Thats what i am but i have always been made to feel not consistent enough or not persisten enough,without staying power etc.You see in Greece we have a saying that" a multipotentialite equals a useless or homeless person" I thereby adopt your version!,,😅♥️
Haha, that interpretation of a multipotentialite is very common in my culture too 😊Ugh, it's a relief that now there's a growing acceptance and non-judgement of people like us.
@@anagoldberg 🥰🥰
Hi Ana, I would love to hear more about multi potentialitis. I have for 64 years thought that I was weird in my creative life and curiosity. Fast learning and for that always meet with jealousy, cause I got good fast to new skills. I also always have been confused by, what to stick with - or get brilliant to do - and maybe make a living out of it. Now you tell me of multi potentiality 😀
You sound like a 100% multipotentialite, Hanne Marie! 🌷
Slavic women are so creative, smart ,beautiful, lady everything in one.
Thanks Anastasia you are amazing Russian women
Knitting, drawing, watercolor painting, basketry, paper marbelling, felting, spinning, weaving, encaustic art, wool dyeing, haiku writing, calligraphy of every kind from blackletter to Spencerian script, falconry, nostepinning, creating medieval miniatures on vellum with gold leaf illumination, beading, ceramic decorating with slip, metal clay jewellery making.....have I made a penny from any of these? No. I do them for the sheer love of learning the technique and then... I move on. I love to learn and it's the love of learning to do these things that drives me. Learning gives me an inner peace and makes me feel so very alive. I'm only 66, I've more years to go and things to learn. I've a bucket list of those. So yeah...thanks for the term multipptentialist. Ive always said I'm a Jack of all crafts and mistress of none. My family and friends might call me unfocused & scatterbrained. But 'multipotentialist' sounds so damned cool and posh I'm going to put that on a tee shirt!! Or perhaps you should Ana and then we can buy them?
Wow, what a fantastic array of endeavors you have, Laura! 😍 I have lots of admiration for what you do. Absolutely, our creative juices are what keep us feeling truly alive. Sending you much love!
Haha, thanks for the tee idea 😊💚
„A cemetery of ideas“ - when you said these words, I realised that I still feel guilty for all the ideas and attempts on which I didn’t follow through.
It was quite a relief to think, “ hey, it’s okay. It was fun as long as it lasted.”
Ugh, I know this feeling of guilty too well, Christiane! Embracing our multiple facets is definitely the way to be 🌷
Good morning Ana - what a wonderful video to wake up to! I wonder if one of the toughest obstacles to overcome is finding the time to nurture one’s creativity? My daughter is a very talented artist who studied Fine Art at university and has dabbled in many, many mediums but her life now is so busy with a full time job, a home, a marriage and a 2 year old that she has very little time to nurture her creative side which I can see is difficult for her. She is sharing her love of art with her daughter so hopefully through this she will be able to rekindle her creative fire.
I dabble in many things but have never achieved what I’d call “mastery” of any of them. My knitted projects become better with each project but are never without a mistake or two; my cousin pointed out that in many cultures it is considered good luck to hand make imperfect pieces, especially if you will be gifting them. So, I will “hang my hat” on that wisdom and just enjoy the process of creating!
All the best to you and Brian. Stay well. Hugs from Canada.
I love the sentiment about imperfections in handcrafted items so much! Thank you for inspiring me with that, my friend 💙 Sending love and hugs to you all the way to Canada!
@@anagoldberg Yes, that sentiment has given me an entirely different perspective on my imperfect hand crafted items. I am a “process” knitter and welcome the challenge of learning new techniques but I am much more patient with myself with the inevitable imperfections. Xo
Multi potential hmmm maybe that explains something about me!
…a personal cemetery of unrealized projects.
So right.
I have a question... isn't everyone like this? I thought that people that decide to specialized and keep going is because have their feet on the ground or something like that. I'm very confused, I feel I'm multipontential and I agree and feel everything you are saying, but aren't we all like that?
