I recently made a list of many fundamental beliefs I hold, which help bring regular insight and a sense of clarity to daily life. Together they form a kind of manifesto for my approach to life, creativity and the world around me. I have been pairing them with unused photographs as daily reminders of the principles that guide me.

As human beings, inside our heads we are free. Each one of us can be in full control of our thoughts, imagination, ideas and beliefs. Of course that means it's unreasonable to expect others to agree with us, as they too are free to choose their own thoughts and beliefs. I think it's advisable to regularly remind ourselves of this. Forgetting to do so inevitably leads to frustration, anger or disappointment.
