success is a direction, not a destination. So when I make a decision and I know it's coming from higher self, then I'm in that direction. I'm on that higher self path.

notion.soThe opposite of the shotgun approach is the "sniper" approach. It means getting super-clear on who our target client or customer is, and aiming directly for them.

Not being caught up and controlled by trends, political narratives, hunger, momentary pain, other peoples' opinions, comfort.
The more you are controlled, the less autonomy you own.

The best marketing comes from you simply making your art and sharing it. In ways that light you up and provide value to other people. There’s no need for sleazy tactics. Sharing our art, sharing our values and philosophy and stories, can be PART of our art.

🌀 Agnes Martin - My Rabbit Hole of Exploration
Here is the answer to the question I asked in the first post. Agnes Martin discovered that painting was all she needed to be fulfilled in this life. I wonder at what age in life did she discover this? Was it an innate knowing or did she struggle?
I envy people like this who know what their “thing” is. I’m 30 years old and it frustrates me deeply that I don’t have a strong affiliation with one thing. Whether that’s writing, or reading, painting or playing an instrument. I’m starting to wonder if I need to try new things?
What I do enjoy - building workflows with digital tools, solving problems by creating systems does not feel like an artistic thing!
I can build and perfect a Notion or Tana workflow for hours until a solution is found but something feels like it’s missing. Maybe it’s because it’s not tangible like painting?
I don’t know but I think I need to pick up pottery - maybe that will be my thing.

I left pretty much all tracking websites (last.fm, goodreads, letterboxd) and let me tell you, it feels great to not carry a big list of numbers around with me, I’m like a tiny fluffy cloud of indifference floating through existence, broadcasting nothing and just taking it the view.
