Be Like PTA. Be Like Louis. Be Like Zach Hill. Do The Work. Be Humble. Don't Be Desperate. Be Patient. Do The Work. Be careful not to become another cry-baby face-tatted drug-addicted wannabe. Channel WILL into the Art. You are An Artist, Be An Artist. You are Not a Businessman. Listen to Artists, not Businessmen. You don't need to do everything you can to 'Blow Up' right this second. People will put all their energy into blowing up and then they achieve their 15 minutes and then what? They Go Into Business- they don't have life-long careers as artists. Why? Because they were always businessmen. If You want to be an Artist, Be An Artist. Write better, Play better. "But in order to blow up you have to ..".. No. Be An Artist. Love The Work. With Patience, help will come. Rav Kook Did Not Publish His Writings - He believed, that perhaps someone would be divinely inspired to publish his work, if his work was worthy of being sold.

Whatever, just expose your psyche.. release, put it out there. The less you can treat it as belonging to you the better. That is your job. Expose. This is rooted in the belief that exposing one's self, one's psyche, is ultimately a positive act, however flawed the things you are exposing will be (and they will be). Its Okay. This is a practice of Letting Go of Self.

Do What You Can With The Resources You Have Sometimes the most beautiful things are created using the most basic of tools.

Complete your Ideas. Why? Because It is an absolute Tragedy for Good Ideas not to be nurtured, developed, actualized, shared. To be given up on. This is the tragedy that an Artist simply can not live with and accept, and must protest against. An unrealized Idea is tragic for the same reason as a premature death - it's in the imagination of the potential that never became - it Hurts. it's Wrong.

If you continuously strive to unlock, nurture, develop, and actualize ideas, because you do not exist alone in the World, you are bound to communicate to somebody, somewhere, at some point in time.

Be assertive enough to believe in the value of your own ideas. Sure nobody else will be the first to believe in them. Fight for them. And by value I am not merely referring to commodity. "But if not for commodity, then what is this potential value in an idea? And why expend so much energy into it?" The answer is something in the realm of the Divine… Because if everyone only cared about commodity then the World would not be Beautiful, how about that.
