Rick Rubin
Creativity is not a rare gift reserved for the chosen few, but a fundamental human birthright accessible to anyone willing to cultivate a deeper awareness of the world around them.
Living as an artist does not require formal training, but rather a dedicated practice of paying deep attention to the subtle details of everyday life.
The creative process flows through four distinct phases of collecting seeds of inspiration, playful experimentation, disciplined crafting, and releasing the completed work into the world.
Ideas do not originate solely from within our minds, but are gathered from an external, universal source that we capture when our awareness is open and receptive.
