Don’t fight your environment, but rather, learn to thrive in the circumstances you’re given.

That’s the true value of creative pursuits: it pushes us to constantly strive for that excellence and well-being.

If water is a necessity for our survival, creativity is a necessity for our souls.

Improving your well-being in a sustainable, holistic manner was the way to go. It had to be a long-term focus—not a short-term focus.

Creativity and well-being are very interconnected.

Immersion in nature was life-changing for my mental health.
