Your magic

If you try to ‘generate’ a shortcut to creating your magic, you’ll lose the magic.

And probably, create a lot of frustration and wasted time along the way.

If you try to focus your mind on doing your best work, somehow, the magic shows up.

And probably, when you forgot all about shortcuts and just danced with the magic itself.

Don’t try to phone it in. Don’t look for shortcuts. The fastest way to producing great work is to not look for the fastest way at all.
