Practice art, any art: music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpture, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to make money or fame, but to experience becoming, to discover what is within you.
Not being prepared to try or to be wrong is refusing to be creative. If we are not prepared to be wrong we would not come up with anything original. By the time kids become adults, we lose that capacity to be creative. We live in a system where we stigmatise mistakes. Pablo Picasso once said, all children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up.
Here is something about life I came across on Insta. “You can’t skip chapters, that is not how life works, you have to read every line, meet every character, you wont enjoy all of it. Some chapters will make you cry for weeks. You will read things you don't want to read; you will have moments when you don't want the page to end. But you have to keep going. Stories keep the world revolving. Live yours. Don't miss out.”
