The Creative Act by Rick Rubinby Parker on TwosWhatever we concentrate on, we get.To assume there was a golden period and you're past it is only true if you accept that premise.Putting your best effort in at each moment, in each chapter, is all we can ever hope to accomplish.With each chapter we make, we gain experience, improve at our craft, and inch closer to who we are.Complete as many elements of the project as you can without getting hung up. It's much easier to circle back once the workload is reduced.Often the knowledge we gain from finishing the other pieces becomes a key to overcoming earlier obstacles.If the goal is to create the most beautiful work possible, then whatever directives are truly in service to that end are the right onesThere is no more valid metric to predict what someone else might enjoy than us liking it ourselves.Instead of focusing on what making this will bring you, focus on what you contribute to this art to make it the best it could possibly be, with no limitation.With the objective of simply doing great work, a ripple effect occurs. A bar is set for everything you do, which may not only lift your work to new heights, but raise the vibration of your entire life. It may even inspire others to do their best work. Greatness begets greatness. It's infectious.
