Engaged detachment

Detach from the moment and stop treating yourself like you’re so important. If everybody hates the art you create, so what? They stand to lose nothing, they stand to gain nothing. You lose by not creating and you might gain by creating. So why not create?

When you have detached from the moment, your own importance, your own entitlement, and worrying about whether people like you or not, you are able to engage in what you need to do to get better.

Stop worrying about people’s reactions to your work, but use the feedback to make yourself better every day.
