life is art


“Living life as an artist is a practice. You are either engaging in the practice or you’re 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’re not.
​
We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output.
The real work of the artist is a way of being in the world.”

-Rick Rubin

You are an artist.

Your greatest masterpiece is your life.

Adopt the mindset and identity of an artist as you live life and live the masterpiece you want to see.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
