1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
A wonderful bit from lecture 4 of Grayson Perry’s wonderful Reith Lectures. While he’s talking about artists, I can’t think of many vocations or callings where this wouldn’t apply.
“Most of the successful artists I’ve met, they’re very disciplined. They turn up on time, they put in the hours and that idea of us all being a bit chaotic and shaky, I think it’s a myth . Artists are doers. They don’t ‘want to be’ artists; they don’t wannabe artists they want to make art. They enjoy making art. And this reminds me of a quote from Kierkegaard. In the old days, they loved wisdom. Nowadays they love the title ‘philosopher'”
2. A wonderful artist
I’ve long appreciated the incredible, nature-based artwork of Andy Goldsworthy. I’m really looking forward to Thomas Riedelsheimer’s forthcoming documentary about him, “Leaning Into The Wind”. Very cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQYGbfVfpm0
3. This week’s glimpse of the future
The doctors of tomorrow will be supercomputers. Apparently. https://futurism.com/doctors-tomorrow-supercomputers/
4. Garret Kramer, Michael Neill, me and you
Would you like to pick the brains of 3 people who have a boatload of experience of making things happen in the world? I’ve been working on something very special with my dear friends and colleagues, Michael Neill and Garret Kramer. Each of us is a bestselling author, an international speaker and a leading coach; we’ve each managed to have a big impact sharing an understanding of the inside-out nature of life with others. Now we’re looking for a select group of people to join us in making things happen on a bigger scale. Here’s how you’ll know if you’re a good fit for this (and vice-versa)…
– You want to perform at a high level
– You want to make a difference in the world, and play a bigger game
– You want to turn your dreams and inspirations into tangible, real-world results
– You know that if you had the right impetus and guidance, you could really make things happen
– You’re interested in the principles behind state of mind
– You want to do all of this authentically, in a way that fits with who you are
– You’re courageous and willing to take action if the direction looks right to you
If this describes you, you can find out what we’ve got in mind here: https://www.jamiesmart.com/gettinginthegame/
We’ll be selecting people in the next few weeks!
5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
I can’t believe I never heard of John Grant until last year. His beautiful song GMF has explicit lyrics, so worth using earbuds if there are children around. Check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekFWPsXXcg0
That’s it for this week!
Big love
Jamie
