Everyone has doors in the living room of their lives that they assume are locked. Doors that lead to artistic expression. People say "I have no talent -- I can't dance or sing or paint or write poetry or play an instrument." More often than not the doors are not locked, just closed. One may turn the handle, open the door and pass through into a larger life space.
In life there is nothing more common than talent and intelligence. What is missing is passion, persistence, commitment, and dedication.

To this day, I've never figured out a single locked-room mystery.
