Exploration is always good.
As long as you don't lose your way on the journey. | |

I'm so glad that wasn't your last post!!! I think all artists benefit from exploration of all forms of art. Even if the public rejects it. | |

Even if the public rejects it.I'm not sure what you mean to imply by the term 'diversions', but all art is created as a result of life experiences whether it's through a creative endeavor or a simple drive in the country. It all adds up to possible input for creative interpretation. If you're worried about Prince spending too much time NOT creating music I have to share Prince's thoughts (in his own words): "...everything is cool in moderation!" | |

That's not true! I don't need to go to Africa to know that its hot! I think that creativity is the personalised distellation of a collective consciousness. We see the same shit but some of us see rainbows where others see turd. Its like social osmosis or something. Give me beer! | |

What is life w/o growth? It all comes back to the music, it always does. His base is solid, he's got too much in his head not to branch out. It's a wonderful thing, a blessing to be able to explore whatever he wants...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

It's a wonderful thing, a blessing to be able to explore whatever he wants... I disagree with you that it is a blessing, per se, in as much as we can all do whatever it is we want to do.
The problem with many people I come across, is that they restrict themselves for doing what their heart dictates because they themselves impose self-limiting restrictions. These have been developed over many years and are the result of what other significant figures / experiences have told them. People then cement themselves in with such beliefs, and will uncover all kinds of evidence to support their inertia. | |

Not really  Life circumstances can limit people in all kinds of ways. I certainly don't have the same "limitless" opportunities Prince does to explore whatever I want in this life. I can want to & I can try but b/c of my particular circumstances I'm limited in some ways (money, opportunity, blah blah blickety). It depends on what it is you're trying to do...

That IS true. And you also have the people that are just living, really not expecting much of themselves. But part of the reason people put limits on themselves is b/c dreams can be a risky thing to go after (depending on what your dream is). In pursuit of a dream you may have to give up security (the stable 9 to 5), family (to move to where you need to be for whatever it is you want to do, which is sometimes necessary), all kinds of things that are dear to you. Fear of losing all that or never attaining it keeps people from trying, and the fear that they'll never achieve their goal anyway. But fear is something any individual can get over if they believe enough. It's just that some goals take more than passion & determination to achieve. And I'm not talking out of my ass here... I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

TRUE. And sometimes your internal resources are excellent but your external ones keep you from your goal. I don't know why that's so hard to believe, it happens all the time
