What Is the Leonardo Trait? Creativity in Action

<h1>What Is the Leonardo Trait? Creativity in Action</h1>

<p align=right>by Angie Dixon</p>

<div align=justify>I recently began thinking about why I'm like this. Trust me, if you know me, you'd understand what I mean, and you'd probably agree that just knowing my family isn't enough.<br />
<br />
I have two speeds. One is stop, one is go.<br />
<br />
I can't work on one project, I have to have five.<br />
<br />
Of the twelve projects I have open, I'll only finish seven.<br />
<br />
I don't know which seven it will be, so I have to work on all twelve until I figure it out.<br />
<br />
I can't settle on one thing I want to do. Right now I'm learning to podcast, walking in charity walks, and setting up teleseminars, while writing a book.<br />
<br />
My favorite person in history, after Amelia Earheart, is Leonardo da Vinci. Amelia Earheart is my favorite only because I was a little girl in the 1970s and female role models were rare; I'm not giving up my first idol.<br />
<br />
I like to think that if Leonardo were alive today, people would be calling him "weird," encouraging him to "finish what you start," and--my favorite--referring to him as "jack of all trades and master of none." Then I like to think of those people suddenly realizing who they've been criticizing.<br />
<br />
You know? Wouldn't that be fun?<br />
<br />
Well, of course it's not going to happen, but what can happen is that you and I can recognize the Leonardo Trait in ourselves and each other and let up on ourselves. No one else is going to do it for us.<br />
<br />
Give yourself a break, Leonardo.</div>
