Collect this 2023 recap with our song “Humanity” for 100 Bonsai
- I just claimed my $BONSAI reward on @lens/orb!
- Collecting is the new way to signal social support.
We used to just "like" things, but now we can purchase something to show our appreciation, even when the only thing we're buying is a concept.
- Creativity lies not in the done but the doing.
- Working on the press handstand today.
- Does anyone else train on gymnastic rings?
I love them for upper body strength training and joint preparation/bulletproofing.
Showing some friends some ring routines in the mountains this past weekend.
- Good nutrition is the result of active decisions, not the passive absorption of what's being told and sold all around us.
- My freestanding handstand progress.
I have been working on improving my body line.
I significantly improved my body line over the last couple of months with a combination of lat tri stretch, chest to wall, body line awareness drills, somatic work and ring/bar hanging.
What are your favorite handstand drills?
- You are not your next thought.
Observe your next thought with curiosity, kindness & awareness.
Be the observer of your thoughts and not their victim.
- Collecting is the new way to signal social support.
We used to just "like" things, but now we can purchase something to show our appreciation, even when the only thing we're buying is a concept.
- The power of stillness is more than just being idle.
It's being comfortable being alone with yourself, allowing for ideas to flow, and connecting the dots of life.
- Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to wait until the silence is too loud to ignore.
- Creating > consuming
- When you start collecting music, you attach meaning to it- you start collecting experiences that you can play back at any given time.
- One hour of creation, consumed in the morning, can shape the entire outcome of your day.
Create first. Consume later.
- Most mornings should start with creation.
Not news. Not email. Not scrolling mindlessly on social media.
Creation.
- Life isn't a to do list.
Life is a voyage of discovery.
The items on that list are just checkpoints.
- Don't rush the process.
It takes time to make things happen.

- The highest currency is peace 🌊
- Everything in moderation including moderation.
- Creativity requires rest.
It requires time away from your craft to gain perspective and reflect on your mental models.
Let yourself have it.
- Creative expression doesn't have to come from the pages of a diary or the notes of a song.
Sometimes, you can express yourself through code, design, or everyday conversations.
- Real productivity isn't endless output.
It's restful activities that create spaciousness for ideas to emerge.

- Comparison is the kryptonite of creativity.
Always compare yourself to yourself and you will be shocked by what you create
- Creative people are not necessarily producers, but curators of ideas.
They find the needle in the haystack, combine it with other needles, and create something you would never think of on your own.
- There are two paths in life:
1) Follow meta
2) Set meta
Choose one and commit.
It's the difference between a follower and a leader.

- Creativity in the digital age isn't just about creating content, it's about using the right combination of existing information to create something new.
- Music is a love language 🌊
- Create what you want to create.
- The dream of making it in music looks light years away.
It's process over outcome.
Practice, practice, practice.
Consistent little wins will get you closer to the big wins than wasting time dreaming and waiting for "when".

- Create something that is uniquely yours.
- Connect the dots in unexpected ways.
- The best art emerges from the silence.
- Things don't have meaning until you give them meaning.
- Creativity ebbs and flows throughout life.
Sometimes you find yourself in an artistic spring. Other times, you’re in a creative winter.
Accept both and use each season differently.
- Social media can be a double-edged sword.
It's a great way to stay connected, but can also be a huge time suck if not managed properly.
My question is, how can we use it to our advantage but without it becoming a full-time job?
- Curation is the catalyst of discovery.
Without it, untraceable music becomes lost in a decentralized abyss.
- When prices of onchain music drop to free, competition increases.
Artists must focus more on creativity & presentation to stand out and be successful.
The challenge is to stand out in an increasingly crowded & competitive landscape while making money.
- What's the one thing that has the biggest impact on your mental health/happiness?
