Dissecting the word Craft

Great works of art tell very specific stories.

I wasn't doing it for anyone, but myself... and in retrospect it really helped. It was very authentic and it was just something I wanted to do.

I realized early on how committed the listeners I did have were — they were extremely loyal. It seemed like the show was really connecting with the people that were listening.

Maybe I have something here. Maybe this is something that could fulfill this goal that I've had since I was a little kid which was to make a living doing something that i created and something that I loved.

The world gives you nothing until you give it everything.

While I found success in one area, I'd been working so hard towards this one very narrow goal that everything around me just felt like it was being neglected.

I found success in one area, but it didn't immune me to everything else in life.

How does one cultivate and diversify meaning in their life?

What if meaning was a choice that we make?

How do I diversify my catalogue of meaningful things?

Can you impart meaning in an activity through intention? When we set a goal, we state an intention. We do everything it takes to follow through with that goal. That is where the meaning is.

Craft is the process by which intent is transformed into a meaningful existence.

It was a transformative experience. I cultivated meaning into something that was formerly mundane.

Anything has the potential to have meaning. We just have to state our intention.

Craft is responsible for everything beautiful in the world.

Beautiful is precision and it's decision. It's attention. It's a sustained effort. It's intention, it's ambition, it's followthrough... It's maintenance. It's everything we care about and actively strive to make better in the world.

The absence of craft is everything ugly in the world. It's indecision, neglect, shortcutting, lack of attention - it's things falling apart.

You choose beauty or you choose ugliness. You choose craft or you choose neglect.

We cultivate a more beautiful and meaningful world through craft.
