What are we more interested in — the individual or their art?

---

the individual > their artwork

As an artist, you can only give birth to what is inside you. Thus, the biggest critique:

• when people create artwork in which they pretend to be something else, or to be beyond what they actually are in real life.

what do I desire to become?

Don’t think about trying to become someone else. Your goal: augment yourself to the Zenith.

Your courage must be tied to reality.

We need to be connected and tied to embodied reality. True courage involves other human beings. You cannot be courageous in a vacuum. Other people is essential.

You are the goal.

The point is this:

You embed your soul into your art works.

Then you and your embodied soul is more important than your art work.

Why JAY Z is the goat

Everyone wants to become Jay Z. I love Eminem, but I don’t want to become Eminem. Kendrick is great but I don’t want to become Kendrick.

Kanye is great too. But would I rather become JAY Z or Kanye? I’d probably be Kanye.

It all comes down to courage

Who has more courage? Jay Z or Kanye? Kanye. Jay Z is still shackled by money; he will compromise his position in order to make more money. Kanye won’t.

I like myself more than Kanye

I prefer myself over Kanye. I consider myself more handsome. I also am taller than him. I am also more physically powerful than him.

Ignore bank balance

Nobody wants to become Jeff Bezos. I want to become audacious like Elon Musk, but I far prefer myself and my life over Elon.

Idea:

Don’t think about their bank account. Think if you want to look like them, act like them, think like them, or become them.

Become you!
