When you start something just to grab fame or stay relevant, you’re playing a cutthroat game designed to stress kill you. Instead, chase your curiosity, embrace your weird random side, stay small, true, and generous—and you’ll find joy without the drama.

You’re not building a portfolio. You’re building tolerance—. for feedback, for boredom, for silence. That’s what separates creators from dabblers.

If you’re stuck .in your creative career,.it’s rarely external. You’re either obeying old rules,.protecting a fragile identity,.or mistaking pessimism for intelligence. Let go. Change. Grow.

Jagjit Singh made you feel. Today’s artists just make you swipe. The art’s not dying. The attention span is.

Taking Naval's advice with a grain of salt is wise; blindly diving into his guidance may not suit everyone's life stage. He subtly cautions against this during his podcast with Chris. Tip : take @naval 's words and chat with it and look for what did he do 10 steps before he got

My take. “Artist” is a word we use too loosely. In truth, there are only two kinds:. One creates out of love. The other, out of necessity. One makes to express. The other, to escape. And when we drag fame into this conversation, it gets confusing. Fame is not a measure of.

Talking to AI feels like therapy. It's not just about the answers,.but more about when it doesn't get my questions. It makes me think about how much I assume:.what I say, and what I expect from others and myself—. all based on how I ask.

It's 02:02 AM, and I woke up feeling hot. I can't switch on the broken AC in the room, as my cold from the last few days gets activated. Then I can't sleep, which is the end result. I ate a chocolate cone ice cream to cool down my body. I switched on the AC in the living room,
