“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working” - Pablo Picasso
I read about art, photography and writing. I read books and articles on the internet. I listen to podcasts. I watch youtube videos. What they all say is that you should spend your time working (on your art, on your writing) and keep your brain out of the way. Don’t think about what you’re doing. Don’t worry about it. Don’t wonder if it’s good enough. Just do it.
All these pages, all these recycled electrons, all these hours of video can be summarized into three words - Just Do It.
I wish I could have trademarked that phrase years ago before someone else did. It’s amazing in its simplicity. It says it all.
Woody Allen is quoted as saying, “Eighty percent of life is showing up.” He was wrong. One hundred percent of life is showing up. The rest takes care of itself.
