Thought

If you have an idea you’re excited about and you don’t bring it to life, it’s not uncommon for the idea to find its voice through another maker. This isn’t because the other artist stole your idea, but because the idea’s time has come.

In this great unfolding, ideas and thoughts, themes and songs and other works of art exist in the ether and ripen on schedule, ready to find expression in the physical world.  

—Rick Rubin, The Creative Act

Quote

Philosopher Lao Tzu on change:

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

Acknowledgement of the Day

Small acknowledgements can help shift your perspective to the positive aspects of your day. Today I acknowledge myself for exercising patience under pressure.

What are you acknowledging yourself for today? 

Happy Monday,
