“I think a lot of people want to be given permission to like art, because they think that there’s a whole set of rules.
There is not.”

Article: How Should We Celebrate Your Day? by Seth Godin
Thought: Seth Godin asks in his blog, “If today was a holiday in your honor, what would it be about?” For me, that day would be about doing something creative. I don’t just mean traditional art forms (e.g., painting, music, dance); I mean creative in its greater meaning. For me, creative means imagination, power, vulnerable, meaning, new way and unique. Sports figures are creatives. Engineers are creatives. Politicians are creatives. Teachers are creatives. YOU are a creative.
Try a new idea. Be uncomfortable. Solicit criticism by pushing the status quo. Practice vulnerability. What I want said about me is “He was creative and tried shit.” That’s the advice and legacy I hope to leave each day: Be Creative.
