Get a hobby.

Dive deep into something.

The more that is in your heart the more you can pull out of it.

When you nurture passion for a subject you also grow the desire in yourself to learn deeply of other subjects.

Collecting stamps or flying model airplanes or fly fishing or furniture-making doesn’t just increase your knowledge of those subjects. It grows your desire for  the heart-swell that comes from having deep knowledge and interest.

Never do what you’re told.

When someone can describe what they want you to do that work is already dead.

Don’t do it.

Breathe your breath into a new thing.

It will be better than the dead work you’ve been asked for.

And only a wholly bad agency will fire you for doing better work than they asked you to do.
