It's a practice for me every day, sometimes every hour of every day. It is an absolute practice.

The people who practice authenticity work their ass off at it.

Unused creativity is not benign.

I’m not very creative” doesn’t work. There’s no such thing as creative people and non-creative people. There are only people who use their creativity and people who don’t. Unused creativity doesn’t just disappear. It lives within us until it’s expressed, neglected to death, or suffocated by resentment and fear.
