I LOVE working with a team, and I believe that the best creations are made in a collaborative effort. If each part of a team is the best at what it does, then when every piece is assembled, there will be no areas where the finished product is lacking. A-Players are the only ones who are responsible for this high-level work, and A-Players love A-Players. Even if a person is not the most skilled in their craft, if the dedication level is up, then they are already, or on the way, to being Great!
Finding the right people is just as difficult as finding a best friend. We have to be able to handle ideas in a way that they can keep bouncing off of each member, getting better each time. The "creative family" is such a magnificent relationship, with the only goal to create great things. Other than that, they can be very fun too, because each person has such an interesting and different past. Really good answers can be given when asking about the creative process, especially if there are multiple crafts in the mix.
Overall, when we work together, we can all feed off of each other, if you are having an on-day while I am having an off-day, then your enthusiasm can bring me right back up! When big things get accomplished, it will be way better to share the success with other people, rather than be lonely. So keep up the good work, team.

Mind State
I'm back writing in the Current! hope you guys like it
Mind State
Mental health is something everybody deals with, whether we want to or not. And that which affects our minds goes by different names: Anxiety, Pleasure, Stress, Euphoria, and many more. It is easy for us to talk about the good stuff, because it's fun and not embarrassing (most of the time). Contrarily, we seem to be more silent when it comes to the negativity inside our minds. Is it because when we let others see what is weak about us, we feel vulnerable and at risk of being abused? Possibly. But I am just a person, and you are just a person too. It's silly for us to pretend
Giant Shoulders
'I have only seen so far because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.' We build off of those before us. I came across this idea a few years ago, it has stuck with me, and it seems like a wonderful sentiment. This is an easily recognizable notion within the science community. The ologists of today are only conducting their level of work because of the sweat of their predecessors. But I believe that this pattern of growth goes much further than a field of study, this idea reaches around the world. Instead of someone having to begin at the absolute starting point, what others have done in the past allows us to do a sort of skip-ahead as they

The Artist that Concocted the Perfect Recipe
All people have the potential to do grand things. We just have to figure out what we want to do, and perhaps the most important step is to actually do it. And do it in a very kick-ass way. Marvelous things will happen. Now, we are all born into our own unique set of circumstances and this is important to keep in mind. Some people are born into a place that doesn't inspire or push them to build and be creative. Perhaps they are surrounded by humdrums, don't have money, or whatever type of other ailment. But don't let that get you too down. On the o

Thanks for everyone who came out, it was a lot of fun! I have been doing loads of writing for my current project and in the quad digits with the amount of hours in it already. Not spending too much time on the internet has been helping me to stay focused and create at my highest level. There is a universal language to all creativity, and I have been discovering that seemingly everything that I have learned with visual art is able to be applied in the writing art form, it just needs to be utilized in a different way. Interesting stuff!

Yeah, teams are worth it. It's a shame a lot of teams aren't founded on the mindset like in this journal, from what I've seen out in the community. But the simple truth is, they were probably so focused on the bad stuff and the self, that they couldn't see the great benefits to teamwork. I believe that if every member joins the team knowing statements like the one you have made above, then it will definitely be a great asset to you and the collaboration work.
Great title word play xD and another great journal sir!
