“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.”

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.”
― The Creative Act: A Way of Being
