You got skill. He’s got skill. I got skill. We’ve all got skills. But sometimes, it takes more than skill.

It takes heart.

I spent a great deal of time in the last two weeks at conferences. And even in those environments where there is often a laser focus on skill, I noticed a shift. I think we’re slowly realizing that we don’t need more skill. We need more heart.

We want to tell better stories. Create more beautiful art. Write better songs. Design better websites. The list goes on. But skill isn’t the thing we need to do it. I believe we’ve all got plenty of skill. All of those things will be better if we find the heart we’ve pulled out of them & put it back.

How do you put heart in the art you create?
