Reminders for myself

It suggests that creativity does not need indulgence, nor does it need chaos. What it does need, instead, is presence. And presence, I am realising, is rarely dramatic; it is an often repetitive, even dull practice, a willingness to show up before the idea has shown itself.

What if purpose isn’t something we find , but something we participate in ? Meaning doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It is shaped in relation, through the push and pull of being with others, through showing up, through being witnessed, through witnessing. A life of meaning is not self-contained. It is interwoven.

Instead of “How are you?” ask, “What’s been on your mind this week?” Then pause. Let silence do some work. Don’t pivot the moment they finish.

Audiences become stakeholders, and cultural relevance comes from creating belonging. The best brands are movements with a product attached to it as merch.

How to Heal Trauma, Calm Stress, & Unlock the Mind:
