The world would have you believe that creativity is an indulgence. “Get a real job” or “find something you’re good at” are a few common phrases that get thrown around. But so long as you do that, you’re on someone else's path. It isn't living your own life - it's following someone else's. Why spend your life that way when you could be seeing the world for what it really is?

In today’s episode, we’ll explore what Friedrich Nietzsche meant by his words "No artist tolerates reality" and why it’s fodder for artists like you and me, even today.

We’ll also dig into why:

• Creators cannot tolerate the “status quo.”

• Creativity is your birthright.

• Reality is malleable and different for everyone.

• Everything in this world was created by someone just like you.

• When you choose creativity, you distort reality, introducing a part of you into it to make a change in the lives of others.

• Establishing a creative practice is the only way to a creative life.

Enjoy!
