Living Life As An Artist

 

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.
