The Creative Act by Rick RubinBook takeaways 
  • Living as an artist = a state of being. It’s a state of active awareness 
  • The universe is only as big as our perception. When we broaden our awareness, we broaden our universe 
  • Afraid to share your art? Which desire is stronger: the desire to share or the desire to protect yourself? The choice is yours 
  • “Level up your taste.” Consume quality, consume intentionally. ALL the time. “The way we do anything is the way we do everything”
  • There is a difference between doubting the work and doubting yourself
  • True “intention” requires a full alignment of oneself. You must align conscious and unconscious beliefs, capabilities, and actions 
  • Learn from children. “The impossible only becomes accessible when experience has not taught us limits.” 
  • Discipline = freedom. The less occupied you are having to “think” about life the more you can “feel” art 
  • “Making the simple complicated is commonplace. Making the complicated simple, that’s creativity” 

Till next time, be blessed. 💕
