9/27 chapter 2

 "An obsession with the product is not unique to arts and activism, it is at the core of capitalism. Capitalism is based upon things producing things and consuming things. What's overlooked when we focus on things is an understanding and appreciation of how things are made and who makes them; that is, the process of creation."

The emphasis needs to change from being solely fixated on the finished product or material goods to a greater understanding of the entire creative process, the people involved, and the ethical and sustainable components of manufacturing. It questions the idea that these important factors are frequently overshadowed by capitalism's concentration on consumption.

 " Physical and mental space is key for creativity. A space away from the ordinary routines, obligations, and distractions of daily life."

This statement is spot on ! Often we tend to trap ourselves in a box and not cater to our mental health and physical health. Get away is often needed from time to time.

" We are often our worst enemies when it comes to being creative."

With overthinking we tend to be a blockage of our own blessings.
