To create you must quiet your mind. You need a quiet mind so that ideas will have a chance of connecting.

By 'expecting nothing' you are not 'giving up.' Far from it! You are making a decision to focus on what needs to be done rather than on outcomes.

A wild person with a calm mind can make anything.

When a thing is not done, continuing to work is the strength; but when it is done, the strength lies in stopping.

Your chances of creating deeply hinge on the quality of your awareness state.

Abstraction is itself an abstract word and has no single meaning ... Every word in our language is abstract, because it represents something else.

Creativity requires introspection, self-examination, and a willingness to take risks. Because of this, artists are perhaps more susceptible to self-doubt and despair than those who do not court the creative muses.
