E’Layne talks in a most interesting way about art and life, that most of my takeaways today are direct quotes from her. Here are some of my favorites.
- Your life is good if you can make things with your hands. The things that you make touch other people’s lives. That’s important work that you do.
- We have a spiritual DNA. What comes through us is who we truly are. We are constantly co-creating the universe.
- Not eating well, not sleeping well will take a toll on your psyche.
- You need to develop a watchful observer of your thoughts.
- What informs you life can inform your creative expression in your business.
- It’s just as easy to think good thoughts as bad thoughts. So why not choose good thoughts?
- Artists and creatives need to think about What is their genius work? What is it that excites them?
- We are distracted from the moments of our life and we need to work to get to a quiet mind. Creativity finds expression in the quiet moments.
e’Layne has certainly given us a lot to think about.
