How To Grow Up Creatively Gifted

Don’t be afraid to “fall in love” with something and pursue it with intensity. (You will do best what you like to do most.)

Know, understand, take pride in, practice, develop, use, exploit, and enjoy your greatest strengths.

Learn to free yourself from the expectations of others and to walk away from the games they try to impose on you.

Free yourself to “play your own game” in such a way as to make good use of your gifts.

Find a great teacher or mentor who will help you.

Don’t waste a lot of expensive, unproductive energy trying to be well rounded. (Don’t try to do everything; do what you can do well and what you love.)

Learn the skills of interdependence. (Learn to depend upon one another, giving freely of your greatest strengths and most intense loves.)
