really pay attention and read the world around you, be the observer
create, consume, manage, ideate, in that order
the order is most creative to most janitorial
creativity happens through action
if you identify with doubts, you will eventually self-prophesize it
“To live as an artist is a way of being in the world. A way of perceiving. A practice of paying attention. Refining our sensitivity to tune in to the more subtle notes. Looking for what draws us in and what pushes us away. Noticing what feeling tones arise and where they lead.” ~ Rick Rubin
"As soon as you say, 'Wow, I don’t know how I did that. I wonder if I can do it again,' you just shut the pipe because your ego got in the way. You thought it was you. It's not you. It comes through you." ~ Rick Rubin
If all you’re doing is getting dressed in the morning to look cool and it’s not coming from a culture that influenced your style then you’re just a character. If you’re dressed up like a skater, but you don’t skate – what are you? If you can just buy whatever you want, you haven’t really earned much.”

“The literal meaning of life is whatever you’re doing that prevents you from killing yourself.”
~ Albert Camus
“You don’t know if the roof is leaking,” it’s been said, “unless you live on the inside.”
