**The Creative Act · Rick Rubin**

I keep my mind open. To keep my heart warm. To keep my sense alive. To truly see what life puts in front of me. To feel the energy I'm surrounded with. To notice the people crossing my path. I surrender to live the wonders of life as they happen. I surrender to live a more fulfilling life. I surrender to live in harmony.

The last problem is that if you check social media any time you feel a twinge of boredom, you train your brain to expect constant stimulation. It’s okay to feel bored! Boredom is a skill. The more you can tolerate boredom when you’re doing nothing, the easier it is to rest in deep thought when you’re facing a difficult challenge. - Michael Lynch

Creativity is an internal discussion between these aspects of self.

Most people spend too much time looking at what others are doing, and not enough time making sure they are heading towards where they want to be.

Or maybe the problem is that they simply don't know what kind of life they want, because they never took enough time to self-reflect.

“I want everything quiet and simple. For me: walking barefoot, sitting still, reading, listening to stories, and now and then telling some myself. Eating fruit, drinking milk, longing to create, but with patience and many insights.”


— Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Lou Salomé witten c. March 1904

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”

That’s the paradox of minimalism: by removing everything, you see everything.

The best atmosphere and the most beauty can be found in everyday situations. I'm not at all interested in the idea of luxury. The idea of enjoying something that excludes others is terrible, isn't it? I think luxury was invented for people with no better way of enjoying life than feeling superior to others.

**Jasper Morrison**

“When you love someone, you can’t just tell them,” she said. “What do you mean?” her friend asked.

“If you say ‘I love you’, how are they supposed to understand? It’s like trying to comprehend the universe.

You have to show them quietly. A coffee. An extra day off. Room to stand under the same umbrella.

Take the universe apart and give them the stars.”
