What is talent?

Posted on April 14, 2013 by miriamtroxler

“If we believe talent is a birthright, then either we have it or we don’t. If we see it as a skill, then talent can be learned. I’ll add an alternative notion here that I think is worth considering. When we allow ourselves to be fully in the moment- those times that, in retrospect, we feel we were totally absorbed in an activity, a channel for the creative flow without any “self” getting in the way – we are probably our most talented selves.”
Ellen J Langer in On Becoming an Artist
