Previously, I wrote about the Rick Rubin book on creativity (see: 2024 03 27).
Today, a quote from the book popped into my feeds and I thought it was worth posting as a reminder to myself the sole reason I put time into this here blog.
“Living life as an artist is a practice. You are either engaging in the practice Or you’re not.
It makes no sense to say you’re no good at it. It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.” You are either living as a monk or you’re not.
We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output. The real work of the artist is a way of being in the world.”
