Most people are followers.

They don't know how to think for themselves.

They just talk about what others are talking about.

True Artists don't roll like that though.

They look within & talk about what they want.

Unlock your inner artist.

We all have it.

'Who do you consider followers?'

Those who skipped the self discovery process.

Self discovery is a lifelong process

But they got too distracted.

'By what?'

The external 👀👇

Think about your thoughts for a second

How many of them are yours?

And how many of them are just a regurgitation of what others are saying?

Don't get me wrong.

You have to learn

And that's when you gain knowledge from others.

But there is always a level 2.

'A level 2?'

Ya...

Life Law:

Level 1- First you learn to learn more about the world.

Level 2- Then you learn to learn more about yourself.

Studying with the wrong intent will ruin your life.

Most people study to showcase how smart they are.

Using big words.

Reciting the latest fact they learned

Thinking their a boss for correcting someone's grammar

Very unaware individuals

They don't have a filter for their life.

Which is why everything seems important to them

These people are reactive, day by day thinkers & often victims

This group will allow the tweet of a stranger to ruin their day.

If not week.

'So how do I develop this so called filter you speak of?'

1. You start BUILDING an idea of who you want to become.

2. You start self analyzing who you are as a person.

It's not one or the other.

For maximal effects, you are going to be harmoniously switching back & forth.

An idea doesn't come out fully formed.

It's like a baby.

Needs to grow.

Gotta give it time & attention.

So your vision will start off blurry by default.

As you put the intention out there that you're going to work on this idea, the filter slowly begins forming.

The more you learn where you want to go, the more you randomly get curious about topics which will get ya there.

Curiosity doesn't need to be logical.

You were born curious.

Don't get overly logical with your curiosities.

If something interests you, then learn about it

We gotta thing called the internet

But don't just learn

Apply the tips that you're using.

You'll start to gain more experience & develop a stronger filter.

The filter helps you sharpen the picture of your vision.

You eventually get to a point where the idea crystallizes

You acknowledge where you can improve & your strenghts.

And its mainly leveling up from there.

Your main goal is to out do your prior day self.

The more you do that, the more you unlock your inner artist

An artist is not just someone with a paint brush.

An artist is someone who does self discovery thru their vehicle of choice.

They have fun & live with joy.

Internally motivated.

They got the fire.

No denying that

Most are anxious & worried all the time because they let the external fuel them

Competing with others rather than building a long lasting brand.

Letting Twitter algorithms influence their thoughts

Being too serious

Serious is a conscious act.

It will feel like work.

It will take a toll on ya overtime

Have fun.

'What the key to having fun?'

Working on a vision for yourself which unlocks inner motivation.

That's when you stop trying to change others & trying to get them to love ya.

You got a mission.

Going on a lifelong journey now.

Those who stay, stay.

Those who leave, leave.

Look out with the intention of looking within.

☆Learn about the world.

☆Then learn about yourself

Repeat forever.

That's the key to unlocking your inner artist.
