How much do you care about your art?
I’m not talking about the accolades it gets. I’m not talking about the promotions it earns you or the whispers of genius lobbed in your direction.
I mean REALLY - how much do you care about your art?
Our love - our pure intention - is the genesis of brilliance. In a “create on demand” culture, it is critical that we stay attuned to the purity of our love for what we do. It is critical that we continue to find new ways to discover deeper layers of beauty in our work. As we uncover them, we uncover ourselves and build a reservoir of inspiration.
Find ways to surprise yourself. Improv is the closest thing to real life - as we are improvising we are not only finding the “next thing” we are simultaneously finding ourselves. Be spontaneous. Not careless, but spontaneous. Be intentionally unintentional. Do something that violates “proper” art.
Re-connect with your ability to SEE. See with more than your physical eyes. Act on what you see.
Even if no one else will see it.
It takes intentionality to engage with creative projects on our own time - they don’t just make themselves. In this episode, we talk about some disciplines that can help us creatively engage and get moving on our “pet” projects.
