The creative philosophy behind VHLA & how you can use it too

Today’s message is for you artists. You creatives. Those of you that are builders, poets, writers, producers, video makers, photo takers, painters, designers, story tellers, whatever.

Everyone has the ability to be an effective creator, but almost nobody is approaching creation the right way.

So what do all of the greatest creators have in common?

Think about it.

They all:

Don’t give a single fuck,

About what other people think.

Especially while creating their art.

The very best don’t ‘create’ their song, video or painting as an attempt to satisfy other people, it’s an attempt to satisfy their own soul.

The thought of “what will other people think” is no where near the top of mind while the best of the best create.

And that’s because creation is one of the most intimate practices between you and god. These are the only perspectives you should view it through.

The art of those who make something with the intent of trying to make everyone else like it…  never goes anywhere and leaves a dry aura of grey behind it.

That’s why most movies today are so shit. Because most directors/creators are fixated on viewing the movie from a capital perspective and not a pure, passionate and creative one.

Same goes for our architecture, clothing, paintings, every single thing today is littered with a grey cloud of gayness. And that’s cuz the true passion has been taken out of it.

The most elite creatives on the planet TRULY make their craft for themselves and for god. It’s as intimate as a journal entry. A true creation has the creator’s soul riddled all over the craft and that’s where all the power and beauty lies.

You’re only gonna be effective as a creative if you’re truly creating for your own satisfaction.

It is to be done with your full heart and soul. Other people’s perspectives have nothing to do with what ur making because it’s as intimate and personal as a diary entry. It’s yours not there’s

And when you truly, truly create something entirely for and from yourself… well that’s what makes other people feel it too.

How strongly the masses feel about your art, entirely depends on how little you thought of them while making it.

Make it entirely for you. And they’ll probably love it.

This principle is what’s propelled VHLA in a lot of ways. When we began this thing, we weren’t thinking about “how will other people view us?” We were just creating something that was true to us and who we are. Something we loved. It was for us.

And it just so happens that a lot of you fuck with it too.

So my message for you is this: if you’re someone trying to build or create something. Don’t think about other people. Make something purely for you. Then just wait and see how others feel about it later.

Bull Market Confirmed!? Dow, S&P 500 Hit Record High As Tech Stocks SOAR

Yep, you fuckin’ read that right. Stocks climbed today, pushing the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average to record closing highs.

The S&P 500 rose 1.2% to close at 4,839. This marked the S&P 500's first record close since January 2022. The Dow gained just over 1% to settle in at cool 37,863.

On a percentage basis, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was the day's biggest winner, rising 1.7% to close at 15,310. The Nasdaq's record close stands at 16,057, reached in November 2021.

Investor focus turned this week back to Big Tech stocks pushing markets to new heights as the key drivers of the late-2023 rally waned.
