If there is anything that Taylor Swift taught us last year, it’s that we need to shake it up! Or, at least according to her, shake it off!
Well, today Phil Hansen, an artist, teaches us what it means to embrace the shake. Phil is an artist who suffers from neurological damage which causes his hands to shake. As an artist, this is not a very good thing.
When Phil was in art school his shake developed, which eventually led him to drop out of art school all together. Later, Phil went to visit a doctor about this shaking, and it was then that the doctor said to him, “Why don’t you embrace the shake?”
Lo and behold, when Phil did this and picked up drawing again, he found that he was able to do so and that, though his art came out differently than how he had learned, it was still art; just in a bit of a different form.
Things may not come out exactly the way you want them to, but you need to embrace the shake (embrace yourself), use what you have and go with it.
