About This Quote
Everybody has a gift and it is the gift that we express rather than our abilities which make us who we are. This can be seen in people who have a gift for playing an instrument and it can also be seen in people who have a gift for drawing or writing or painting or any other type of artistic expression. Everybody has this gift to express and it is unfortunate that we all get bogged down with the idea that we must be perfect at doing something before we can begin expressing our gifts. The good news is that everybody has this gift to express and that everybody should get to express it.
