Choose a path that works towards your definition of success.

We should all live lives where work and play are so seamlessly intertwined that it always appears that we're doing both.

The very phrase work-life balance in itself connotes that work and life are two separate things, when in reality it should be one.

As a photographer or a content creator we have the responsibility to capture our most honest version of the truth.

The pressures of society has a tendency to socialize us out of our obsessions. We learn to value practicality over creativity, competition over collaboration, money over time, and fear over courage.

Our minds are discursive because of what we feed it.

Not a good thought, not a bad thought. Just a thought. Not a good story, not a bad story. Just a story.

The mind is wild.

If you've noticed that your mind is wild, congratulations. That's awareness.

We have well and truly lost the connection with ourselves. We spend so much time sharpening the blade of our craft, upskilling, working on how our body looks rather than how it moves and spend so much time in our minds with the stories we make up. We don't spend any time sharpening the very source that helps us understand this source which is our mind.

There is no silver bullet to anxiety but anxiety isn't meant to be cured it's meant to be understood.

What does it mean to be a creative? Why does it matter? Why do I have to identify with the word?

For most of my journey, my imagination had mustered up such a big story about what and who I should be that I had left no room to be just me.

Realisation: I didn't have to be a god on Instagram to be a photographer.

The energy that you spend inside your own head doesn't allow you to spend energy on anyone else.

I decided to let my anxiety come along for the ride with me. Not push it away, just let it be there and without letting it cripple me.

I didn't learn sh*t from uni — I'm talking like, nothing!

What is ego? We can't see it, we can't taste it, we can't smell it and we can't touch it. It's literally nothing. But we all have an idea of who we think we are and who we think we should be.

I'm a 0 to 100 kind of guy.

It's hard enough living with anxiety, let alone having anxiety and being a creative.

Anxiety is like when you get an eyelash in your eye. At the start, it's just an innocent piece of hair and next minute it feels like a shard of glass and you think you're going to go blind.

Better design = better business = better design = better business.

We're often working against nature, not with it.

Nature was the original closed-looper.

Minimizing harm is not being sustainable. We need a revolution.
