The Creative Act: A Way of Being

Have you read this? I haven’t. I would like to read it in near future. But I read some of the excerpts and it truly inspired me. Let me share some here.

“A river of material flows through us. When we share our works and our ideas, they are replenished. If we block the flow by holding them all inside, the river cannot run and new ideas are slow to appear.

In the abundant mindset, the river never runs dry. Ideas are always coming through. And an artist is free to release them with the faith that more will arrive.

If we live in a mindset of scarcity, we hoard great ideas.” 

Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

It is true when I share my new recipes, my friends and family will remark and replenish what would they like to add or subtract, from there a new recipe is born.

“Art is choosing to do something skilfully, 
caring about the details, 
bringing all of yourself
to make the finest work you can. 
It is beyond ego, vanity, self-glorification,
and need for approval.” 

Rick Rubin, The Creative Act: A Way of Being

Rick encourages us to bring all of ourselves to choose and do something whatever we desire with the skill and care for the details . Well I am off to perfecting my recipes. Ciao !
