"I bring you the gift of these four words: I believe in you."French Writer, Mathematician
1623 - 1662
One of the greatest gifts that any creative leader can receive is the gift of knowing someone believes in his artistic ability. Do you have someone who believes in you and your ability to create works of art? Is it a parent? A child? A spouse? A friend? A teacher? A mentor?
I have had a number of people in my life who believed in me. My parents believed enough to send me to college and to pay for it even when I disappointed them with my religious views. I have had teachers and professors who encouraged throughout my school years. When I was in the fourth grade, a teacher pulled another boy and me aside and told us we needed to take a leadership role on the playground and prevent fights. In college a professor asked to publish one of my poems in the college magazine my freshman year in contrast to another professor who criticized the poem in public and called me an ass. Through out my 38 years of marriage, my wife has been very supportive of my need to write even when it brought us no money or security. It took my time and energy. My daughter has shown her support by incorporating my poems into her paintings. Each one of these people said through their actions that they believed in me.
Who have been the people in your life who supported you and believed in you? Have you said thank you lately.
