Habits And Art

[Jonson]

I am 16 years old,male :)) . I want to have an amazing life full of joy , love, adventure ,happiness, amazing sex and ART ,making others happy , smile and  laugh ,  ( not in a superficial way )and i also want to learn,know about all  aspects of life. I feel like I have talents that need to rise to the surface (i mean sometimes i feel like this , when i am confident). I know , i sound like an egoic narcissistic person but i really don't feel that way.  I have a vision about making movies ,acting  , collaborating, working with others .. and producing powerful , beautiful , funny , deep , philosophical, scientific movies and many other types too. I like music , drawing , editing videos , special effects .I love the idea of having deep impact on people . I love making other people laugh . I love self-deprecating humor.  I know that this is just talk ...  that's the problem ... I don't want to be a hypocrite who preaches a lot but doesn't ACT . I don't want to write my whole life story although I would love to (I'd love to have someone to discuss my whole life with :)) ..  I think i am somewhere at stage orange . 10 months ago I tried to implement a lot of stuff in my life :meditation , eating healthy ,studying , sports , learning ,socializing  , waking up early , etc.   AND I FEEL LIKE I IMPROVED A LOT SINCE THEN in some areas of my life. But the thing is that i was still stuck because  i slacked off a lot ... and after a few months i realized that I tried to hard to do everything at once . So now my approach is to IMPLEMENT ONE HABIT A MONTH (like first month one habit ,second month two habits ,...)
                                                                  1) MEDITATION

                                                                  2) STUDYING

                                                                  3) RSD ( because i want to have my first girlfriend lol) 

                                                                       etc... 

I am on day 43 of consistent meditation (and concentration of course )   

And now i am doing two things meditating and studying (i had 2 days off  ) . 

BUT sometimes i feel like i just want to go out and live life, have fun ... or when i want to make some movies ... i want to make them when i am inspired ...

CAN YOU MAKE A HABIT OF BEING ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE ? or you just do that when the inspiration comes?  

 

DO YOU THINK THIS  IS A GOOD APPROACH?

 

PS: I AM VERY LAZY ...  Sometimes inspiration comes when i am lazy .. can laziness be a source of inspiration,motivation ? Sometimes i just stay in my bed and i don't do anything , i also want to be more confident.

Creative people are actually highly disciplined and consistent with their craft. 

Waiting for inspiration and pushing things off is just another form of procrastination. Most of the time, people simply lie to themselves and give in to fear. Everyone gets resistance. It's actually a good thing because if your work really matters to you, you should get scared. 

The key is to not succumb to it but to act in spite of it. Most importantly, you have to develop the habit of deliberately practicing your art and honing your skills every day. Deep work for several hours a day.

I only write when I am inspired. Fortunately I am inspired at 9 o’clock every morning.
