The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin

  • Everyone is a Creator.

  • One does not have to be an artist to live as an artist. It is a way of perceiving the world, the experience that we curate for ourselves.

  • The artist is on a cosmic timetable, just like all of nature.

  • Be true to your nature.

  • There’s a time for certain ideas to arrive, and they find a way to express themselves through us.

  • Create an open space for ideas. Wait for solutions to appear.

  • Sometimes disengaging is the best way to engage.

  • Follow your intuition.

  • If you are open and stay tuned to what’s happening, the answers will be revealed.
