“You have to accept that. It’s about accepting that you have the talent first.” – Sugar Taylor

Creative Process To Healing

Sugar opens up and shares past experiences that led her to become the self-taught dynamo she is today. She discusses how the power of the mind can enable anyone to learn anything they set their mind to. Meditation, reading one’s body, and the creative process helped Sugar heal and work things out internally.

She also mentions art therapy classes for those people who want to escape and carve out time in their lives to channel their creativity.

“The whole point is about carving out and making time for what makes you happy. It’s about what could potentially open your mind to something else. It can even be about healing and just about having a great deep conversation with other people.” – Sugar Taylor

Opening Your Creative Power

Sugar advises people who don’t believe they are creative beings. She says they need to step outside their negative mindsets and think of ways to discover the creative power inside. The personal journey of discovering one’s creativity can be difficult, but this can become an extension of happiness and contentment in life.

“I believe some people are naturally born savant and prodigies. They are just born amazing, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of the population is not. You just have to figure out that one thing you want to do and be honest with yourself. This can be something you’ve always secretly been passionate about” – Sugar Taylor
