This gives me hope. Unlike many of the youth I hear and read about, I do not have one thing I can proudly say I am absolutely good at. Unless of course it’s being talentless clueless. Somehow, even with all the hope I have, I rest somewhere between being the best and being the worst. For example, I like to write but I know I’ll never be a damn good writer. I like to create and design stuff but there’s always a creative fence I cannot quite cross over. It is frustrating. Especially when people my age have gone on accomplishing things I wish I had instead. And I end up saying to myself: ”If only I had more talent…” But Woody Allen begs to disagree. Apparently, for him, it’s courage > talent. And I believe every sense of what he’s saying. It’s not about having the talent, it’s about choosing to be brave in the face of life’s challenges and boldly accepting the opportunities that knock on your door. Perhaps, and even better, looking for opportunities yourself. It’s about creating your place in this world, with or without talent. Because what use is your talent if you do not have the courage to use it?

So I suggest instead of us trying to beat ourselves over and over again about not being smart or pretty or rich enough, about not having enough talent or more of what we need, let us enCOURAGE ourselves. Let us be brave and live with no regrets. Let us go and learn what we need to enhance what we already know. I think what really matters here is finding the courage to have more talent. Yes, I think that’s it.

I need to watch his film.
