Pablo Picasso said, “All children are born artists. The problem is to remain an artist as we grow up.”

Those piano or guitar lessons you signed your kids up for… Did you do that because you wish YOU stuck with your lessons as a kid?

You might’ve given up something you loved as a kid, like music, art, dance, or writing, and then shoved that dream onto your kids instead.

I did this. I made all my kids take guitar lessons. Why? Because I’d always wanted to play, but I told myself the story that I wasn’t good enough.

If there’s something you miss, something that still stirs in you when you see someone else doing it… that’s your sign.

Pick it back up. Regardless, don’t wait.

This isn’t about being “good.” It’s about reconnecting with yourself. And when your kids see you do that, they learn that life doesn’t end when something ends. You always have a choice.

In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, musician and songwriter Phil Cook is showing you how to unlock your creativity and reconnect with the part of yourself you’ve been ignoring.
