No One Way is Right
Everyone has their own approach to the artistic process. But more than that, everyone is unique and so, too, is the way they do things.
My way is not the same as your way. That’s probably one of the most simple and true facts of life in general. How I do things is not at all the same as how you do things.
That’s for many reasons. Environment, experience, life lessons, beliefs, biases, and on and on. But the single biggest reason of all is because your headspace/mindset/psyche is completely different from mine.
Mindfulness is always composed of the same basic components. Thought, feeling, and action. But what you think, what and how you feel, and the nature of the actions you take — and intent behind them — is variable within every single person on the face of the Earth.
That means that there are more than 7 billion (7,000,000,000) different ways to do anything and everything. Sure, many are going to be similar and very nearly identical — but they are still different.
People surmise that there are a wrong way and a right way to do a thing. While on the whole, they’re not mistaken, there is no ONE right or wrong way — but lots and lots of them. Hence, what works for you might not work for me — and vice versa.
