well it seem you and I are not alone! as many have said – that is me! I suffered at school for being “mecurial” as i soon was bored and wanted new challenges. I sadly chose the wrong career path – accounting, but was lucky to have a few project roles which kept the interest alive. Now, I am trying a portfolio career, but would love to write. I draw/paint “do” music and all sorts to things so fit the profile you described well.
THE Challenge is to see this as a positive not a negative. In early societies the great thinkers were those with multiple interests. Modern western thinking has tried to narrow us to be specialists and clones. Look back at Michael Angelo. Some great engineers (Brunel etc) were multitalented.
Keep it going!
I am not sure whether I am a multipotentialite, although certain traits seem to apply.
I am not skilled at anything, although my passion for words grows stronger every day. BUT I do get bored easily and display (an often morbid level of) curiosity about the most mundane aspects in and of life! LOL
Guess I am just lazy….but this article is brilliant and has clearly resonated with a lot of people! #HUGS
Thanks for always being honest, heartfelt and VERY interesting

I left my permanent teaching job of 11yrs and I so want a business because I know I can run one.. or two or three it is just that I have heard so much about finding your passion and following it I don’t have one… I used to think I will always be lost but thank you!!!!
I hope you respond!!!
