Master the Art

Why do we do this work?

Is it for accolades from the people we look up to, or is it to fill our bank accounts?

When you are lost without a destination in sight I will give you a cheat code.

Seek mastery over your art.

You can’t go wrong with this goal in mind. When you look for mastery, you will value the intrinsic rewards that come from sitting in the chair to do the work.

Motivated by external rewards, you will be always chasing after respect and money which is often fleeting if you haven’t noticed yet.

Mastery asks you to go within and see what you can bring out of this artistic medium, your instrument, or the project at hand.
