Living Life as an Artist

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.
