Get obsessed.

Not just interested. Not just curious.
Obsessed.

Fall in love with the thing. Let it take over.

If it’s The Beatles, don’t just listen.
Study them.
On repeat.
Feel their songs. Read their stories.
Understand the world they were written in.

Pick a comedian.
Watch everything.
Study the pauses.
The timing.
What makes you laugh. What doesn’t.

Notice more.
Most people are too distracted to see.
But the obsessed observer sees it all.
The cracks. The humor. The patterns.
Everything becomes funny.

If it’s pens—
Write with dozens.
Cheap, expensive, old, new.
Find the one that makes you smile.
Then, stay with it.

Obsessions tell you something about who you are.
Follow them.
And you’ll find more of yourself.

Work becomes art when you treat it like it is.
You'll feel like an artist.
Doesn’t matter what you do.
Respect it.
Obsess over it.
Craft it.
And the world will feel it.

Talk about the things you love.
Even if no one gets it.
Especially then.
That’s how you learn to see from above.
Connect what others don’t.

Listen to what excites other people.
Obsession is contagious.
You might catch a new one.

And when one dies—
Let it.
Clear space.
There’s another one waiting.
