I started my Rethinking the 48 Laws of Power A Creative's Journey guide for a few reasons. First, I wanted to use the 48 laws of power by Robert Green and applying it to the creative's journey, using these same laws to propel your creative journey, propel change in your life experience, propel your inspiration, and propel yourself and your life into a new dynamic.

The second law is don't depend too much on friends, learn to use enemies. Being a creative, being an artist is a very lonely journey.

Don't believe that the people you knew five, ten, fifteen years are going to support you the way you need it. It's going to crush your spirit. But uou can't be upset at people for not being who you want them to be. You can't be upset at people for not supporting you the way you think they should.

We're All Meant to Be Artists

Everyone should start off as a creative, but I want to end my life experience as an artist. Creativity serves a purpose but it doesn't necessarily inspire. Art is catered to inspiring change for a better lived experience.
