It can be easy to fall prey to the limiting belief that we are stagnant beings, separate from the constant metamorphosis that is unfolding all around us. When we widen our perspective, we expand our potential. In the words of Joseph Campbell, "The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe. To match your nature with nature."

“Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.”

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light, and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery — celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from — it’s where you take them to.’

The most effective communicators are ones who most consistently show up as themselves in every form.  Write the same way you talk to your friends at a bar.  Make art that provides a point of view on things you care about.  Exist online the same way you do in real life.
