You do, you just haven't bothered to search for it. ;)

God gave us all special talents for us to be creative. Our job is to find it or them. You'll know when you find something that when you learn something about it, it makes you happy. Explore it, learn it, be happy and make others happy doing it. ;)

And always remember...it's never too late. Colonel Sanders (Kentucky Fried Chicken) started in his 20's and didn't make it until his 70's! Yeah, he was a bigot, etc. but he never gave up and it ended out working for him. Even if someone is an enemy doesn't mean you can't learn from them. ;)

15 Quotes to Help You Relax and Slow Down

Life is all about balance — work hard, play hard, that sort of thing. But where can we fit relaxation into that busy go-go-go equation?

The dictionary definition of “relax” is aspirational and healing: “to make or become less tense or anxious.” For some folks, relaxation takes the form of zoning out in front of a TV. For others, gardening or tending to the house offers calming effects. Whatever your chosen method of relaxation — whether it be time spent horizontal in a hammock or pressing pause on work to stroll through the neighborhood — rest should be a built-in part of everyone’s daily routine.

So when deadlines and to-do’s start to feel overwhelming, take these 15 quotes about the importance of relaxation to heart. Remember: This life is beautiful but brief, and it’s crucial to pause and destress every once in a while, so as not to miss the smaller moments that make all the work worthwhile.

    There is more to life than increasing its speed.
    — Mahatma Gandhi

    Taking time to do nothing often brings everything into perspective.
    — Doe Zantamata, author

    The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.
    — Sydney J. Harris, journalist

    It’s not the daily increase but the daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.
    — Bruce Lee

    Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.
    — Chinese proverb

    We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.
    — Bill Watterson, creator of "Calvin & Hobbes"

    Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health.
    — Dalai Lama

    Every now and then, go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
    — Leonardo da Vinci

    Sometimes, the most productive thing that you can do is to step outside and do nothing… relax and enjoy nature.
    — Melanie Charlene, author

    It's a good idea always to do something relaxing prior to making an important decision in your life.
    — Paulo Coelho, author

    I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.
    — Steve Maraboli, author

    Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
    — John Lennon

    Rule number one is, don’t sweat the small stuff. Rule number two is, it’s all small stuff.
    — Robert Eliot, author

    Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
    — Lao Tzu

    Take rest; a field that has rested, gives bountiful crop.
    — Ovid, Roman poet

Creativity is part of human nature. It can only be untaught.

~ Ai Weiwei

Artist-activist Ai Weiwei is known for his provocative performances and outspoken critiques of systems of power. Speaking critically of the educational system in his native China—and, perhaps, elsewhere—Ai has said, “Kids are put through a strong social-educational process that makes it impossible to develop unique thinking. The competition is like a tunnel from which there is no escape. That makes society simple and maybe even effective, but it’s not human.” Ai’s work, which has documented the constrained movements of Chinese citizens under surveillance by the government, among other topics, reminds us not to take for granted our freedom of expression, or let the pressure to conform to social structures stamp out our innate creativity. The loss of freedom, he argues, is akin to a loss of our humanity itself.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

~ Henry David Thoreau

Leading transcendentalist, early naturalist, and lifelong abolitionist Henry David Thoreau started keeping a personal journal when he was 20, at the suggestion of another quintessentially American writer-philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Two years later, having made a habit of journaling, Thoreau jotted down this note. What inspired him to record the thought, we cannot know, but in retrospect the line might be read as a window into his life’s work. A core tenet of transcendentalism is a conviction in the inherent goodness of people and nature. Likewise, a central premise of civil disobedience in the interest of equal rights is that all people are created equal. Thoreau’s writing on the latter subject would go on to influence many other great thinker-activists working toward equality, from Mahatma Gandhi to Martin Luther King Jr.

The Remarkable Brain of a Carpet Cleaner Who Speaks 24 Languages (https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-remarkable-brain-of-a-carpet-cleaner-who-speaks-24-languages?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us)
Quote
In a city where interpreters can command six-figure salaries, Vaughn Smith was a savant with a secret.

The carpet cleaner heaves his machine up the stairs, untangles its hoses and promises to dump the dirty water only in the approved toilet. Another day scrubbing rugs for less than $20 an hour. Another Washington area house with overflowing bookshelves and walls covered in travel mementos from places he would love to go one day.

But this was not that day.

“Tell me about this stain,” 46-year-old Vaughn Smith asks his clients.

“Well,” says one of the homeowners, “Schroeder rubbed his bottom across it.”

Vaughn knows just what to do about that, and the couple, Courtney Stamm and Kelly Widelska, know they can trust him to do it. They’d been hiring him for years, once watching him erase even a splattered Pepto Bismol stain.

... I skipped ahead to this part where the reporter takes Vaughn to MIT for some studies of his brain.
It’s possible that Vaughn was born with his language areas being smaller and more efficient. It’s possible that his brain started out like mine, but because he learned so many languages while it was still developing, his dedication transformed his anatomy. It could be both. Until researchers can scan language learners as they grow, there’s no way to know for sure.

But even without that answer, even before we had the scan results back, Vaughn had what he came to MIT for.

“I got to practice Lithuanian today,” he says to a friend on the phone as we navigate Boston’s airport. “Catalan, Spanish, Russian and a little bit of Korean!”

He’s bouncing as he talks about all the connections he made in a single day with the researchers and the strangers he’d introduced himself to in a coffee shop. All the people who were, as he would say, “hit with a splash of happiness.” This is what I’d discovered getting to know Vaughn: By putting in the effort to learn someone’s language, you’re showing them that you value who they truly are.

I’m wondering if Vaughn will ever see that same value in himself.

And at that very moment, he tells his friend on the phone, “I just feel like, work wise, I gotta do something else. I need to figure out how and what to do. It’s not going to get better unless I do something.”

I’ve never heard him talk like that before. At our gate, I ask how he is feeling. He is thinking about the way the Harvard and MIT neuroscientists spent the day asking him questions. Not just for their research, but because they want to understand how, in their own language learning, they could be more like him.

“It’s really comforting,” Vaughn says. “I always wonder, it’s like, how do I compare on the larger scale? What if this is really nothing to be excited about?”

But they’d been excited, and now, he could be too.

“I’m not some worthless person,” he says.

Once upon a time, many years ago, I worked in a machine shop and one of the machine operators held a PHD doctorate,  I don't remember what his field of study was, but his point of view was that even after all those years of schooling, he still preferred the manual, hands on labor of running a milling machine to whatever his PHD was about.

This description of her quote strikes a cord with me and I find myself striving to reach that goal more and more often as I grow older.
Quote
Best known for her roles in films such as "Still Alice" and "Boogie Nights," Academy Award-winning actress Julianne Moore has also authored bestselling children’s books about self-acceptance. The eight installments of her "Freckleface Strawberry" series were inspired by her girlhood as a conspicuous redhead. Like many young people, Freckleface Strawberry gets her ideas about who she wants to be and what she wants to do from looking outward. Moore wants to help kids learn a lesson she's realized with the passing decades. As she mentions in this quote, growing older brings clarity, and once you grasp what you like about yourself, determining your priorities becomes easier.
