As we enter 2023, it is important to remember the value of creativity and artistic expression in our increasingly technological and automated world. While inspiration is often seen as a key component of the creative process, it is not the only way to generate ideas and produce meaningful work. In fact, the act of simply beginning can often lead to inspiration. Therefore, it is important to give yourself as many opportunities as possible to start creating, even if the end result is not exactly what you had in mind. This can help increase productivity, improve the quality of your work, and allow you to become more familiar with your own natural stylistic choices. To sustain this creative output, however, it is essential to embrace vulnerability. Vulnerability is the driving force behind art that truly resonates with others and touches their emotions. As creators, we should strive to create work that connects with other humans on a deep level. To do this, we must be willing to be vulnerable and open about our own experiences and emotions. This process requires a deep understanding of ourselves and the courage to confront the truth of our reality. By sharing these truths through our art, we can serve as a mirror for our audience and allow them to confront their own emotions and experiences. Remember that vulnerability is a journey, not a destination, and embrace it as a valuable part of the creative process. http://iamcraigsmith.com http://instagram.com/iamcraigsmith

I’ve always felt a call to do something with my voice and talents. The more I’ve resisted the stronger it has become. Once I started to try defining this struggle, the more complicated my life became. This is me explaining where I’ve landed in discovering my trajectory and how it affects everyone.

My philosophy, plan, and dream for society.

What's is love? Baby don't hurt me.  In this episode, let's dive into the philosophy of Love itself. From supernovas to careers and car crashes, the chaos of the universe makes our conscious experience a gift. The consistency of that consciousness is Love.

This one hurt. It hurt because I was confronted with the reality of celebrity and what we hold sacred. Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in retaliation to a joke aimed at Mr. Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. It was a joke insensitive to Mrs. Smith's baldness which occurred as a result of her incurable diagnosis of alopecia. In the hours since, we've all been trying to navigate the appropriateness of what happened and where we go from here.  In all of this I noticed a troubling trend that we can't ignore any longer. It's not on Will, Jada, nor Chris... It's on me...
