Great piece Matt 👏 The thing is how to shift the mindset naturally. People should talk to artists to grasp the importance of the ideas you discuss.

Drop a painter and a musician in a bar. The painter will pay attention to light, contrast, reflexions, color. The musician will listen to someone’s tapping their fingers on a table, a whistle, the birds outside, the radio in the background.

From the same situation, one makes a painting, the other a tune. The key is where do you put your attention, because our minds discard everything else. Negativity begets negativity because that’s the material you have to work with. The same is for optimism.

Thanks for the read!
