Living life as an Artist is a Practice.
You are either engaging in the practice or you are not.
It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it. It’s like saying, “ I’m not good at being a monk.” You are either living as a monk or you are not.
We tend to think of the Artist’s work as the output.
But.
The real work of the Artist is a way of being in the world.
Thank you Rick Rubin and The Creative Act.
I write more about practice here: Every Practice has a Space, and that Space is Sacred.
