Day 15: Playing the Fool 🃏

Courageously embracing vulnerability by playing the Fool.

May 15, 2024

Good morning!

Before you start today’s journal prompt, watch this 9-minute video from Ethan Hawke.

The essence of the video revolves around the notion that creativity is not merely a luxury but a fundamental aspect of our existence and humanity. 

And to be creative, you have to get to know yourself better. 

But to get to know yourself better, you must follow your passions. 

And when you do this, you’ll feel like a fool sometimes.

Paradoxically, it’s this willingness to appear foolish that paves the way for authentic self-expression and the realization of our creative aspirations.

Happy journaling,
