Taylor Swift has a way with her music. She creates a very real and instant connection to her listeners the first time the song is played.

She has mastered the art of storytelling. And her art is so deeply personal and transparent that the recipient understands the artist just by receiving her art.

That is exactly what Seth Godin meant when he says that everyone is an artist in his latest book, Linchpin.

Art isn’t only a painting. Art is anything that’s creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator. – Seth Godin

Everyone produces art, whether in the form of a blog post, a warm smile or a history lesson that doesn’t tranquilize the whole class. Art has to be a gift though, something produced out of generosity to bless the recipient. You can sell the medium it resides on, a canvas, a cd or the book published, but the idea itself is free to be shared and to change the recipient.

Closely inspect your daily interactions, the work you produce or the hobbies you love, see if you’re producing art, one that’s deeply personal and uniquely you.

In my future blog posts, I’ll try to learn from how Taylor Swift writes her songs, a tad more personal so I can connect better to you guys, my blog readers. Thanks for generously spending your time on my blog.
