🎥 Sing like no one is listening. Draw like no one is watching. Write like no one is reading.

I really enjoy people showcasing their capabilities especially their creative skills. The only thing that will make me happier is if I get a chance to meet the person behind the craft to share how amazed I am to their face and that there are dozens of us who appreciate their craft, their creativity and their skills.

My grandfather drilled this into me, "Sing like no one is hearing. Draw like no one is watching. Write like no one is reading. A skill is best done when the act is innocent."

I wonder how he might process our age of social peacocking. Whatever his faults, lacking authenticity or conviction wasn't one of them. Maybe, that in itself, is the skill I practice when I follow his words.
