Everyone has heard the expression He's got Rocks in His head.
Well, the other day I met a woman who really has rocks in
Her head and you know it can turn up to be a pretty good thing.
I was at the dinner party and struck up a
Conversation with a charming middle aged lady.
I asked her does she creed of her sparkle and she
Answered, well Doctor Peale I used to be a very unhappy woman.
And thought I had no creative ability until one
Day I discovered that I've got rocks in my head.
I must have looked startled because she laughed and
Said don't be concerned, they are really very lovely rocks.
Well, I couldn't imagine why anyone would be happy about having
Rocks in her head so I was very curious to hear more about this.
This charming lady explained to me how
She found out she had rocks in her head.
It seems she had two children and a very successful husband.
When the children started school,
She found herself with a lot of time on her hands.
She became very depressed and unhappy
Because she didn't seem to have any creative talent.
Many of her friends were taking
Lesson, music, painting and other arts.
But she felt it's just a waste of money for her.
So the future stretched out pretty dismally with the thought of
Just marking time each day until her husband and children came home.
One day, she went to a walk by the lake near their home,
And while she was walking, she noticed a rock lying on the ground.
It was just a plain ordinary rock but somehow it reminded her of Adam
And Eve, Well she took that rock home
But nobody else saw Adam and Eve in it.
So she got some paint and painted what she saw on that rock.
Her family liked what she had painted and
They saw what she had visualize in that rock.
She continued to search for a rock that
Interests her and she painted her ideas on them.
One day, an art dealer came to her home and saw her work.
He asked if he could take one of them and put it in his window.
Well people start coming in and started to ask
About the rock and several of them wanted to buy it.
So the dealer asked her if she could paint some more rocks for him.
Today, that lady is selling her painted rocks all over
Europe and dealers are importing them to the United States.
So you see it might not such a bad thing to have rocks in your head.
Do you have some crazy idea that you think is foolish?
Are you sure you don't have more
Creativity than you give yourself credit for?
Everybody has some talent they can turn to advantage,
It's just a matter of finding a way to
Express yourself and your ideas and feelings.
You may not sell them and profit monetarily,
But you will gain an inner satisfaction money can't buy.
