11 Rules for Art and Life

1. Take risks often. Push edges daily… even small ones.

2. Make mistakes. Get messy.

3. Create faster than your mind can think… not always, but definitely when you feel stuck. 

4. Accept full responsibility for your life. It’s the only way to access your full power.

5. Write love letters to yourself. 

6. Stay open, even if you’ve been hurt before.

7. Be kind and gentle. 

8. Be bold too…

9. But most of all, BE YOU. 

10. Make cool shit with cool people. 

And remember that those who love you will still love you… even if your posts get 0 likes. 

And don’t worry about those who don’t… they’re too busy worrying about themselves.

Because…

11. in the end, everyone gets a standing ovation. 

Everyone.
