Art endures.
Art stands the test of time.
Art is uncomfortable.

I don't care what you're doing today, put your art into it and make it matter.

Find the places in life where you can't be distracted.

It's PROOF that you can direct you attention.
Easy focus states --> hard focus states.

I practice my mental focus on four legs.

They felt "wrong"

Build spaces around "new" ideas that you can grow into.

If you want to create anything meaningful in this lifetime, you'll need to be "cringe resilient".

If you can't befriend that feeling of wanting the ground to swallow you up as you make your art, you just won't.

(And trust me, I'm terrible at it!)

Urban myth: running in a zig-zag helps you escape from danger.

Unless you're literally being chased by an alligator, there's zero proof that it does.

It just slows you down getting to a place where you are genuinely safe.
