Takeaways

The universe becoming consciousness is a concept that connects us to something bigger than ourselves and reminds us of the interconnectedness of all things.


Looking at the bigger picture can provide comfort and perspective during challenging times, reminding us that our experiences are part of a larger whole.


Curiosity and self-expression as a child can lay the foundation for a lifelong passion for art and creativity.Social media can be a powerful tool for artists to showcase their work and connect with other artists and art enthusiasts.


Criticism and praise should be taken with a grain of salt, as they often reflect the opinions and biases of the individual rather than the true value of the artwork.


Being remembered for one's work is a common desire for artists, but ultimately, the impact of the work itself is more important than personal recognition.
