Why the least skilled have the biggest egos and the most skilled are the most modest —
Bruce Lee PHILOSOPHY OF ARTFORM: “The Height of Cultivation Always Runs to Simplicity, Halfway Cultivation Leads to Ornamentation”.
Ornamentation means festooning yourself with superficial garbage to cover up a lack of development. The most developed have nothing to prove, so they’re easygoing about it and it leads to simplicity. It’s the loud ones barking who don’t feel adequate enough so they have to bark to get attention, rather than just increasing their skill that would get them proper attention. They don’t have the discipline to get better so they rely on gimmicks and fluff. They can’t compete, with work ethic so they use politics and manipulation. They don’t have an individual identity so they pack with the herd. They don’t REALLY want to be an artist doing an artform, they just want to be somebody…
They just want to look like a musician. They’re fakes trying to get into the industry that doesn’t even care about them, gives them false idols, takes their money, and laughs at them. These guys have no self-actualized identity and live in a fantasy. These types will never coexist peacefully with me and my types. My types don’t respect you at all and see you as a sideshow clown trying to join the circus, all for a little validation to feel better inside. Really you should just be doing music for fun, but you disrespect my artform as a means to an end so you can gain things. Keep living in the fantasy, and chasing the industry’s latest mindless trend, not being an individual and refusing to take the risk of losing it all just to be happy all the time, whether or not it ever gets discovered.
What do the top 3% of men who get all the women and get all the success have in common?
They’re OUTCOME INDEPENDENT
They are NOT ATTACHED to the outcome
When you are attached to the outcome, your complements are fake and everything you do is insincere, because you’re trying to gain something. That’s inauthentic and nongenuine. That’s manipulative. And the funny part is, people know what you’re doing and see right through it. So no one respects you because you’re manipulative. All because you’re attached to the outcome and want to be somebody. If you weren’t attached to the outcome, you wouldn’t care what happened or what didn’t happen — you would just move with authenticity and be detached.
People who are OUTCOME INDEPENDENT are this way so when their “dream” doesn’t happen, they don’t have a nervous breakdown like the fake artists stuck in a fantasy world.
If you REALLY want to be a part of this depraved and corrupted, faithless and accursed music industry, you have more of a chance of getting in the industry by just focusing on making good music.
That’s when it’s more likely to happen. If you’re TRYING to get into the industry, you’re asking for a brutal reality check that will hit when it’s far too late to do anything. And then guess what?
You’ll wish you just did music to be happy from the beginning but it’ll be too late
Stop bootlicking the fake music industry and their false idols and bad-faith music content and just focus on being a good artist
