Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that is creative, passionate and personal. Art is the unique work of a human being created to touch another. Art is created to have an impact, to change someone else.

By my definition, most art has nothing to do with oil paint or marble. Art is what we're doing when we do our best work.

If you believe that a given situation should make you unhappy, then it will, and the unhappiness will then reinforce the condition.

Everyone has failed, everyone has misspoken, everyone has meant well but done the wrong thing. Your favorite restaurants, cafes and books have all gotten a one-star review along the way. No brand is perfect, no individual can pretend to be either. Perfect can't possibly be the goal, we're left with generous, important and human instead.

If you're not willing to get your 'worst one ever' out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?

The industrial age brought compliance and compliance brought fear and fear brought us mediocrity.

People watch what you do more than listen to what you say.
