You have to act like a creator. Every day. In everything you do.
Don't just read. Write.
Don't just listen. Speak.
Don't just take. Give.
The world is built around mindless, endless, self-consuming consumption. You must resist at all costs- or your life will flash by, in a shadow of who you could've been. Take inspiration- but through the lens of output. Once you make this shift, your life changes forever. You finally escape the sky-painted walls you've been trapped inside.
Then, you make things.
Relentlessly. Obsessively.
And you wonder how you went so long, without realizing that you always could.
