Your talent is whatever makes you feel like you have god in your bones. Art is a technology—a technology of making something greater and its unconditional love accessible.
Start with Yourself
Think about what makes you lose track of time. What activity fills you with enthusiasm to the point where everything makes sense? That intelligence, that sophistication in your capacity—that’s the clue. The feeling of “I understand this, I get it” is not random. It’s pointing you toward your purpose.
Your purpose is to build a life around where you feel that sense of connection. When you participate in and honor that sliver of something greater within you, at its highest form, that’s what human beings call art.
Find Your Medium
Your talent might not be what you expect. It could be botany. It could be motherhood. It could be singing, writing, poetry, or something entirely different. The medium doesn’t matter—what matters is that you lend yourself to it.
When you speak the language you are most fluent in, you make something greater accessible to others. Our consciousness is limited as human beings. We will always need help accessing love, meaning, and understanding. And you can be that help—for yourself and for others.
Recognize the Power of Connection
Think about the times you’ve read a beautiful poem and felt it deeply in your bones. Or listened to a song and suddenly realized you weren’t alone. Someone else carried the heartbreak you were carrying in secret. Someone else articulated the feeling you couldn’t even explain to your best friend.
That moment of recognition—”that’s exactly how I feel”—is not just coincidence. That’s purpose at work. That’s someone using their talent to remind you that you are not alone.
What This Means for You
Finding your purpose isn’t about some grand, life-altering revelation. It’s about paying attention to what makes you feel like you’re home in yourself. It’s about noticing what you can do better than anyone else you know—and then doing it on purpose.
Sometimes you won’t be great at most things. You might struggle with laundry, weight, communication under stress. But if you can do one thing better than anyone you’ve ever met, that’s not random. That’s your purpose asking you to pay attention.
