💡 Thought to Ponder
Jon Batiste, in his Tim Ferris chat, said: "We only have 2 maybe 3 ideas in life... constantly refining, recreating, presenting."
What questions have you spent your life seeking answers to?
If I had to answer this question it would be: where do ideas come from and through what process can we refine them?
If your starting a project, and not having a strong start out of the gate, don’t beat yourself up. Even Beethoven’s greatest works took unimpressive forms at their beginnings. Don ‘t believe me? check out his early draft of "Ode to Joy": Watch Here
🎨 Da Vinci’s Timeless Wisdom
"Study the Art of Science, study the Science of Art. Develop your senses... everything connects." – Leonardo da Vinci.
For a deeper dive into this creative juggernauts life and work, don’t miss the recently released Ken Burns Da Vinci documentary.
If you're into creativity and Da Vinci, check out the Book: How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci by Michael J. Gelb. One fascinating tidbit I learned is that Leonardo used elaborate sensory inputs to evoke emotion while he painted. He filled his workshops with the fragrant aroma of flowers and herbs, accompanied by live musicians performing as though they were his Sonos system.
Sound Selections
I hope to see you soon. I’ll close things with my pick of deep grooves to add some bounce to your new year.
Collaborate with life,
