Beyond the Screen

Inspired by Rick Rubin's book, let's wander through the everywhere-you-look kind of inspiration that fills our lives and the world around us.

Imagine a world where creativity doesn't just belong to artists or writers but lives in everyone of us, in everything we do. Rick throws light on this idea, showing us that whether it's a casual chat or solving big issues, creativity is the golden thread in our life's fabric.

Everyone possesses the inherent ability to create!
— Rick Rubin

He takes us beyond the usual talk about creativity, right into the heart of our connection with the universe. He believes that by syncing up with the universe's endless cycle of creation, we're unlocking a treasure trove of inspiration. This journey, where the natural world is both teacher and guide, shows us that inspiration isn't something you have to chase, it's always right there, in front of us... waiting to be noticed.

What’s the big idea?

Living means looking at the world filled with endless curiosity and wonder, inviting us to see creation as a deeply personal journey, one that's woven into the very core of our existence. By spotting the magic in the everyday, we find an endless source of inspiration that not only enriches us but also adds to the richness of our creativity. It's a gentle reminder that with every moment and every breath, we're part of the universe's grand symphony, co-creating our reality with every thought, every word, every action. Inspiration isn't something to be hunted down, it's a way of being, a lifestyle, a way of living and a journey toward the endless possibilities that surround us.

Therefore it’s essential to take a moment, look around, and step away from our screens as inspiration thrives not just in the online world but in the real one.
— Rick Rubin

The paths we walk, the breeze in the trees, and the simple moments we often pass by. These moments light our way as we, and our children, learn to understand and navigate our world. It's a nudge to fully dive into the creative potential life offers, to connect directly with our surroundings, experiencing its textures, colours, and rhythms. This hands-on engagement deepens our creativity, anchoring our digital creations in the rich, vibrant life that's all around us, beyond our screens.
