YES! So many captivating parts! Greatness is the devoted work you gift to god must be one of the main ones!

He’s the first one to say, get a job so your art can be free. I agree with him. So many creators have been miserable or given up because they were taught your creativity has to pay for your life, or you’re no good.

I think this is a limiting belief that will have most people have their art as a side job. Nothing wrong with that if that’s what you want, but there is always a way to monetize your art.

@@allstrongfitness there are so many artists struggling, many went to art schools and they find it hard to survive and pay their bills. Sure, you can make your art more appealing to a bigger audience, make it more commercial....but then it's not art anymore, it's not who you are, not authentic, not what you actually want to create. You are a craftsman, a cookie cutter like Rick said, not an artist. Not all art is appealing for a greater audience. And art that does sell, the competition is enormous. To be able to sell consistantly but still stay true to yourself as an artist, your work has to be really original or very appealing(originality not necessary). If you want to be a real artIst and make the work you like instead of pleasing the audience, if you want to be free in your expression, the best way is to have a source of income outside of art creating( art related or not) to be able to continue to create without the stress of thinking how to pay your next bill. Meanwhile, keep on making art and sharing it, finding new ways to make a living also fom you art and eventually the hard work will pay off (or not). Some artists (many) got recognition much later, sometimes even after death, because real artists, courageous artists are usually ahead of their time.

Creativity is spiritual. U can't explain it . That's the beauty of it. U just have to be open to receiving that information and materialize it.

You want to know a language that will give you depth whereby you'll be able to figure out hidden meanings? Classical Arabic. Arabic has diacritics and dots, but in the past, they used to write Arabic without diacritics and dots. If you learn Arabic, then learn it first with dots and diacritics, but if you're done, then go to the next level by understanding Arabic without diacritics and dots. This way you will maximize your depth. Your contextual comprehension will become better. Why is this? For example; without dots, the Arabic B, T and TH look exactly the same. So if you read without dots, you'll have to figure out the context by digging. It's like a code language. A secret language. Lots of letters will resemble each other without dots in Arabic. Classical Arabic without dots makes you dig, and this is good for creativity.

When I became bedridden is when I realized I was a true artist. I am insanely happy every time I make an art piece.

And just like that, my perspective has shifted. It reminds me of something a famous writer once said, "Write the story YOU want to read." Write the story YOU want to live in. Write the characters you want to be, you want to interact with, you want to know... the ones that you're in love with- even the antagonists.

Yup. He definitely knows the 'right' questions to ask!

"No matter what tools you use to create, the true instrument is you. And through you, the universe that surrounds us all comes into focus. The ability to look deeply is the root of creativity. To see past the ordinary and mundane and get to what might otherwise be invisible". I highly recommend his book "The Creative Act: A Way of Being".

Now I just get to enjoy what I'm doing and what I'm creating. People are always telling me to quit my job but why when i enjoy my job and want to keep me photography as a creative outlet and a hobby (although, yes, it is a business but ran the way I choose).

Interesting point about creating the art for yourself because every writing or other creative professors or instructor, etc.., will tell you that you are not doing this for yourself but for the reader, audience, etc.

Thanks, Lewis, for the interview. I've never heard of Rick Rubin. Nearly want to skip it because I don't think I am interested in music producer or recording. Rick is very inspiring, and his messages are not just meant for artists but for everyone. What does he shares is wisdom for living. I very much want to see the documentary and read the book.

Thank you so much for your kind words 🧡

Rick Rubin has such a gift for expressing the often unconscious thoughts and feelings behind the creative process... As a musician myself I constantly find him to be constantly expressing things I'd never outwardly verbalised or even internally conceptualised, yet when he says them it strikes such a deep chord of resonance and truth.

That book is the BEST and was just what I was looking for when I found it. Rick’s wisdom completely aligned with my experiences as a painter and his book is a great roadmap for staying on course when your ego wants to take over!!!

It's hard to stay on your path when you see others absorbing from you and getting ahead. I know it's strength to stay on my own path and I've known this from very young, yet still the challenge comes again and again.. and I think now only through me learning a new strength will I over come ....and this is a greatness to absorb for myself.

I met a friend in Venice just like Rubin. Instead he had a studio where he did breathing & meditation with people and also did laser shows for big events in Calabasas etc. this man was a awesome guy and so funny with the flow in his own world.

Love and gratitude to you both. One of my favourite episodes. The book is for every human because we are ALL creators. Every minute was great. Book is amazing and I have gifted to 3 people so far. Blessings and gratitude 🙏

YOU NAILED IT 🎯 Born with it, just some got their talents covered up.

Rick, one day I will work with you ✨I really resonated with what you have to say as a musician, singer, and lyricist. I wish you and your family the very best Rick 🌈🍀✨

I know many unhappy successful people and it saddens me to see them so miserable and unhappy and in the lack mentality.. i am on disability and lost everything and owe everyone but i am grateful to wake up everyday and know that i am here for a reason. I ran into to these videos looking up what is happiness trying to help my sister find happiness. And i here and believe in all you talk about. I started listening to Jake Ducey, Wayne Dyer, Bob Proctor, Les Brown. As a man Thinkith by James Allen. And more i am convinced tha we have been programmed to think and be a someone we were but i always knew i was different and refused to act and think the way they wanted me too, i try to get my kids to watch these videos. I have been watching everyday since 2018 and even watch the same ones over and over and practice these methods. And have manifested results due tomy way of thinking. Thanks again.

Thank both of you for this interview.

I’ve never been drunk or high either. Never taken drugs and not at all interested 🙏🏻

Yes!! Make things for you, and through that, you’ll be helping others.
