Creative Acts Are An Offering To God - Rick Rubin

but what would you say are the biggest blocks that people have to being truly creative and imaginative one big block is concerns about what other people think that's a big one I I made this thing that I love but I think other people would like it more if I made it different for them we don't know what they would like it's a it's a really it's all in our head it comes back to this thing of what I think isn't good enough you know if I like it that doesn't mean anything that's what people think it's like just because I like it that doesn't give it any value like as an artist if you like it that's all of the value that's the success comes when you say I like this enough for other people to see it not other people like it so it's successful that doesn't mean anything because that's other people liking it is out of your control all that's in your control is making the thing to the best of your ability I talk about it usually the way I talk about it is greatness and that's the way I thought of it my whole life was my interest is in making something great greatness lasting greatness Timeless and I came to realize recently it's all an offering to God and if you're making an offering to God you're not thinking about oh what's the budget or I hope I hope these this segment of the audience is gonna like it we don't we don't think like that it's a higher vibration we're making the best we can make to the best of our ability out of love and devotion that's what it is and there is no I'm changing it for someone else because it can't be better than this devotional act that we're doing it was no higher no higher form
