What's Your Art?

Everyone has one, what's yours?

What's Your Art?

Everyone has an art; a skill. Something that makes them unique and stand out in the world. Sometimes, that art is found early in life. It is easily discovered and evident to everyone.

However, for others, it may take years to unearth what it is they are good at. Great at. What it is that makes them who they are.

The art you possess may not be what you expect it to be, but sometimes that’s the most beautiful part; learning something about yourself that you never saw coming.

Finding your art and searching for your art are very different things. It’s like the saying goes, a watched pot never boils – time feels so much longer when searching for something to happen. When you find what you’re best at, it will happen when you least expect it.

There are so many things on the internet, and in society, that try to tell us what we should do, what we should be good at, and when we should find our niche. However, half the fun of finding what it is that makes you who you are is discovering it on your own.

Searching through social media outlets and across the web to validate something about who you are is only doing one thing; selling yourself short. Never settle for anything, especially when it comes to unveiling a part of who you are.

By just living every day with the mindset that you are here for a reason brings you one step closer to finding your art.

Our art should be something we are proud of; something that others know solely because we radiate it through our being every day.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
