Rick Rubin's Tips for Creative Growth 

"Never say you can't do it, you haven't done it yet" - Rich Rubin

‘Rules are there to establish an average behaviour’ There’s a lot to think about in that line.

Rick Rubin is such a wise creative person. All the interviews he's been giving lately are some of the true positive aspects of modern technology and social media. So glad for "content" like this.

2:00 "the thing that the audience wants is the best thing they can get" OMG this totally changes my mindset about perfectionism.

It puts you into a state where nothing matters in a good way. You truly don't give a shit about anything and you're just happy as fuck as a result, because nothing matters. Nothing matters, nothing means anything, there's nothing to do, there's no point, there's no goal but there's also no boredom, there's no negative meanings attached to the meaninglessness, it's just perfectly meaningless and it's awesome. You're basically just like sitting like a cat on a windowsill enjoying whatever experience is before it, just being and it feels amazing. 🦄

rick, if you ever read this, i want you to know that you have changed my life for the better. the way you look at everything and then explain it so well, in a way that i understand and am actually able to apply, to myself personally, is life changing, for me, personally and on a very real level. i'm using my hobby as art, and am finding success more and more each day with putting in the work and effort, all while having the time of my life. i'm finding success in what i love to do, and it's becoming slowly a dream come true, and your advice has been the spark that started it. i'm designing a tattoo to get as a tribute to you. i hope you get to see it one day. thank you.

2:16 resonated really strong with my convictions. Expectations are based on a previous result, and thus are limiting to any professional or artistic creative effort. The only way to provide with awe and novelty to the audience is by performing in spite of their pre-conceived ideas.

Rick Rubin you talking is what is in my head. This comes with living and observing. Being in tune with yourself and the world around you .

What a blessing to so many people, this man has been. Just so many different walks of life he is the definition of what a human should be. Non-judgmental, not in ignorance nor a racist bone in his body, he truly is one of the greats & someone to look up to

I always love Rick's words ❤

Key insights 🎨 The question for artists is not whether they are the next da Vinci, but whether they are improving every day and striving to be the best they can be. 💡 We have the power to make different choices in our lives and change things that aren't bringing us joy or happiness. 🎨 The audience comes last in the creative process because making something for someone else undermines it. 🎨 Sometimes, breaking the rules is necessary to create something special in art. 💡 Trying a completely different way can lead to creative growth and prevent limiting beliefs. 💡 The creative spirit is eternal and forever, and engaging in different creative practices can improve them all. 🎶 Don't wait for perfection, just start creating and practicing - "There's nothing that you can't do you may not have done it yet." TLDR: Artists should focus on improving their skills and striving to be the best they can be, rather than comparing themselves to others or seeking validation from an audience. 1. 00:00 🎨 Continuously strive to improve as an artist every day. 2. 00:25 💡 We have the power to make different choices in our lives to bring joy and happiness and to live in an engaged and artful way. 3. 01:16 🌱 The way we live impacts our ability to create, and putting the audience first can water down our art. 4. 02:57 🤔 Different doesn't always mean better, but it's not necessarily worse either; you have to experience it to know. 5. 03:25 👁 Break rules and go beyond norms to create something special in art, and don't lose perspective while doing so. 6. 04:19 🌱 Trying different ways and experimenting with new palettes will help you grow creatively and find what works best for you. 7. 05:30 💡 Creativity is eternal and forever, and engaging in different creative practices can improve all of them, with energy being the first thing to top out. 8. 06:33 🚀 Believe in your potential, practice consistently, and treat your creative pursuits as a hobby to grow and share your work with others.

Thank you for uploading such great content! I find it very helpful for my journey.

His voice is so calming ❤

People who are not artists, and even some artists, don't realize most artists like, love, need FREEDOM. I don't think most get it. If I primarily paint abstract but decide I'm bored, let me try modern art or pottery. People week say, Oh... what are you doing???? No no no. Stay in your lane. We love you there. Or if I'm a country singer and I decide to do reggae. "What's she doing? I'm no longer a fan. Stay in your genre." But I'm an artist. I like being creative. I like taking risks. I like change. I like trying and saying oops. That didn't work. Or wow, would you look at that! It worked!

I love this guy! Need this bit today and didn’t even know it

I love this man.

thank you =) great composition of valuable nuggets of thought :)

Beautifully put 💛

if i could just have one in person conversion with Rick, it will help my life soo much

The audience part helps me thank you Rick. Gotta do it for me.

Wise words. The way I express myself musically is quite a narrow subset of a certain genre. Almost every time I improve that expression in some way is when I either do something completely different than that, or when I work with someone else. Without those, I often create music that is sort of a pastiche of what I've created before. Even when it's a good pastiche, of something I made 3 years ago it has still has less and less value for me every time it loops over. But, when I do something else, almost no matter what, or work with someone else and in both cases I have to learn new techniques and expand my thinking THEN when I go back to my usual music it always comes out as better and stronger than ever before. As a simple example, the drums have most focus in my own art and then I create other music that has no drums or where the vocals have most focus, then going back to my own, drum-heavy music I often find the process I just went through improved both the drums AND the other elements in my own music.

Some words of wisdom. A great book 🙌🏽🎵📕

Ditto - not all art is DaVinci - love that thought

Good stuff. Thanks.

The King of Presence.

i love this man

You forgot about working on it till you get something really really good A good example is Kanye listen to his demos, most artists stop on the first version

PRAYER: - to (re)unite and be with the true real love of my life (my twin flame) - total and complete healing, permanently: physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, generationally, cellularly - perfect health: on every level, in every way, for myself and my family - abundant wealth - closer healthier deeper relationships with each person in my immediate family

his book "the creative act" is not something to be slept on.

perfect

I'm one of those people who prefer the process of getting 80% of the way to perfection and then starting something new. Those last 20% to achieve perfection are a grind for me, and better suited to other people.

Are we better than who we were yesterday!?..great statement but does it mean are we better artistically or better as person

Sweet beast

gotta put this on replay like some meditational shit.

His hair rocks in this. #lifegoals

This is good

Rick would acknowledge… these are words… fields of energy … not literal … words for thought.

attempt to break a paradigm. combine the ideas no one else is willing to try.

Could you please leave the link to the original interview? Edit: found my own answer. It’s with Dr. Ranjan Chatterjee Appreciate the video, but kind of crazy how people on the internet these days don’t think to properly source and give credit for where their content comes from

🙏🌱

Thanks , modern Santa 🎅

Not wanting to be in a relationship and having the option to stay or leave is hard. Do I stay and try to make it better? I feel like a failure leaving a relationship.

Hi Guy ! Where is the long format vidéo please

anyone else feel around 2:20 THAT if he's NOT specifically talking about Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins... he/they could EASILY be the poster child for such a scenario

Regulations are for regular people!

my man...

Don't forget: one of his secrets to creativity is to nag, neg, berate, and break a person until they snap. Just ask The Cure.

Listened 03.04.24

Not everyone is your audience

Thanks , modern Santa

Basically: go beyond...

Shall we avoid shaving for max impact?

Some feedback for the interviewer: please don’t make noises while the guest is speaking. It’s very distracting for many listeners. 😉

To paraphrase Nietzsche- Many artists choose a path and remain committed to it- very few of them remain as committed to the goal they set out to achieve.

All these ' influencers' give sugestions , rules to change our lives for the better, like a handbook. Can we really put them into practice, as a person who learns a poem by heart and starts reciting it, immediately? People by the thousands have answers for everything in the midia nowadays ,despite the fact that, sometimes , their private lives are chaotic. It may not be the case here though...

I really miss the days where I didn’t know how much I sucked and just had fun with it.

"just because it's different doesn't mean it's better" ( a message to so called "contemporary art")

Can't do that with poverty or disabilities. All you can do is accept it but when you have no options what do you do?

Doesn’t Rick produce the worst albums of each band he works with ? Why is he always portrayed as a cool guy ? Please actually let me know. Thanks !

.

He's sexy 😏

Ive wrote about 1000 set of lyrics for over 160 artists. Not one bit of credit. Dont tell me about artists. Cause most arent.

Disagree.

Everyone is NOT a fucking artist. I can’t stand that mentality.

he does his hair like that on purpose ,,, he wants to be looked at as being the eccentric music guru/genius

I honestly wish he’d cut his hair, shave, bathe Then I could hear him and respect his words better 🙏

My question is, what’s the difference between da Vinci, nd the popular people today. Is it the vintage, the vibe from da Vinci’s paintings vs ours?

Thank you. This was truly inspirational. There is nothing I cannot do 💪 Swan Lake, here I come 🩰
