Focus on creating art, not just following instructions from "summary" of The Icarus Deception by Seth Godin
The essence of art lies in creation, not merely in adherence to instructions. It is about tapping into our innermost creativity, expressing our unique perspectives and ideas without constraint. When we focus on creating art, we transcend the boundaries of conformity and predictability. We break free from the limitations imposed by rules and guidelines, and instead, embrace the boundless possibilities that lie before us. Art is not about following a set of predetermined steps or replicating someone else's work. It is a deeply personal and authentic form of self-expression that requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to take risks. By stepping outside the lines and daring to be different, we give voice to our innermost thoughts and emotions, inviting others to see the world through our eyes. Creating art is a journey of self-discovery and self-expression. It is a process of exploration and experimentation, where we push the boundaries of what is possible and challenge the status quo. It is about delving deep into our subconscious, drawing inspiration from our dreams, fears, and desires, and translating them into tangible forms that resonate with others. When we focus on creating art, we invite others to join us on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. We inspire them to think differently, to question the norm, and to embrace their own creativity. We create a ripple effect that transcends time and space, leaving a lasting impact on those who encounter our work. In a world that values conformity and uniformity, creating art is an act of rebellion. It is a radical declaration of our individuality and a refusal to be confined by societal expectations. It is a bold statement that says, "I am here, I am unique, and I have something important to say." So let us cast aside the chains of conformity and embrace the power of creation. Let us dare to dream, to imagine, and to bring forth new worlds into being. Let us focus on creating art, not just following instructions, and in doing so, let us change the world one brushstroke at a time.
