Rick Rubin's Tips for Creative Growth

"Never say you can't do it, you haven't done it yet" - Rich Rubin

‘Rules are there to establish an average behaviour’ There’s a lot to think about in that line.

Rick Rubin is such a wise creative person. All the interviews he's been giving lately are some of the true positive aspects of modern technology and social media. So glad for "content" like this.

2:00 "the thing that the audience wants is the best thing they can get" OMG this totally changes my mindset about perfectionism.

It puts you into a state where nothing matters in a good way. You truly don't give a shit about anything and you're just happy as fuck as a result, because nothing matters. Nothing matters, nothing means anything, there's nothing to do, there's no point, there's no goal but there's also no boredom, there's no negative meanings attached to the meaninglessness, it's just perfectly meaningless and it's awesome. You're basically just like sitting like a cat on a windowsill enjoying whatever experience is before it, just being and it feels amazing. 🦄

rick, if you ever read this, i want you to know that you have changed my life for the better. the way you look at everything and then explain it so well, in a way that i understand and am actually able to apply, to myself personally, is life changing, for me, personally and on a very real level. i'm using my hobby as art, and am finding success more and more each day with putting in the work and effort, all while having the time of my life. i'm finding success in what i love to do, and it's becoming slowly a dream come true, and your advice has been the spark that started it. i'm designing a tattoo to get as a tribute to you. i hope you get to see it one day. thank you.

Hi you make perfect sense I’m just getting into painting I’m 75 years young lol I’m much better than I thought it’s so freeing 😊❤❤❤

Rick Rubin you talking is what is in my head. This comes with living and observing. Being in tune with yourself and the world around you .

What a blessing to so many people, this man has been. Just so many different walks of life he is the definition of what a human should be. Non-judgmental, not in ignorance nor a racist bone in his body, he truly is one of the greats & someone to look up to

I always love Rick's words ❤

Thank you for uploading such great content! I find it very helpful for my journey.

2:16 resonated really strong with my convictions. Expectations are based on a previous result, and thus are limiting to any professional or artistic creative effort. The only way to provide with awe and novelty to the audience is by performing in spite of their pre-conceived ideas.

I love this guy! Need this bit today and didn’t even know it

Key insights 🎨 The question for artists is not whether they are the next da Vinci, but whether they are improving every day and striving to be the best they can be. 💡 We have the power to make different choices in our lives and change things that aren't bringing us joy or happiness. 🎨 The audience comes last in the creative process because making something for someone else undermines it. 🎨 Sometimes, breaking the rules is necessary to create something special in art. 💡 Trying a completely different way can lead to creative growth and prevent limiting beliefs. 💡 The creative spirit is eternal and forever, and engaging in different creative practices can improve them all. 🎶 Don't wait for perfection, just start creating and practicing - "There's nothing that you can't do you may not have done it yet."
