Everyone Is A Creator
Regardless of whether or not we're formally making art, we are all living as artists. We perceive, filter, and collect data, then curate an experience for ourselves and others based on this information set. Whether we do this consciously or unconsciously, by the mere fact of being alive, we are active participants in the ongoing process of creation. p2
To live as an artist is a way of being in the world. A way of perceiving. Practice of paying Attention. Refining our sensitivity to tune in to the more subtle notes. Looking for what draws us in and what pushes us away. Noticing what feeling tones arise, and where they attuned choice by attuned choice, your entire life is a form of self expression. You exist as a creative being in a creative universe. A singular work of art. p2-3
I really like the framing of all of life being a form of self expression. As I talked about in Master Learning By Teaching 📚 The Feynman Technique 📝 Using Obsidian , I think self expression is an essential part of learning, and what Rick is saying is that self expression is an essential part of being - I agree with him, given that I think self expression is an essential element of 2 - The Path Of Self-Actualization.
