A New World Exists Based on Taste
It comes through the work.
Good taste is hard to find because it’s hard to cultivate.
There is no way for you to get to where you are going without putting yourself out there, without being vulnerable and doing the work.
The biggest lesson for me unpacking this theme was how much all of it went back to doing the work. If you look at any master, they have their dojo, and they set up performances. You can talk all you want; remember that there is no substitute for being there.
It also isn’t free. You have to give to get. Some of the pain comes from showing your work, but if you don’t, you end up with more of a headache.
Your brain adjusts to seeing things with “taste” that you can’t see without doing the work.When it comes to paintings, artists see things that laypeople can’t see. Musicians hear music differently. Your superpower grows with you. It is unique to you – There is no one “real” taste. We are all different.
The payoff, though, is tremendous. Ship.
Growing taste opens up a whole new world.
