Everyone is an Artist

I hear the words "I can't even draw a stick figure" so often I could fill a piggy bank with pennies. Another one I hear is "I wish I had talent."
The thing is everyone is an artist. Everyone has talent. Everyone can do something beautifully, but too often they tell themselves they can't or they don't even try.
Decorating a cake, a blooming garden, decorating rooms, making holiday gift baskets, folding paper airplanes, making the best spaghetti in three counties, etc. These are all forms of art. It's all in how you look at it.
I am not a cook by any means, but I can crochet a gorgeous blanket, draw a life like picture, make jewelry and so on. Those are my talents, what are you good at?
You don't have to search far to find what your art form is. What do you love to do? That's it. Just ask that question and you will find your art form - because you love to do it, it will be wonderful.
So the next time you catch yourself saying, "I'm not creative" rethink that statement and think about what you love to do and change that statement to "I am good at..."
