Join us for another installment of our Artist Wisdom Series, where we delve into the profound insights of influential creatives. In this episode, we explore the profound wisdom of Paulo Coelho, acclaimed author of "The Alchemist", through a thought-provoking quote that challenges us to reassess our journey of self-discovery and authenticity.
The quote we are exploring:
"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming something. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place"
- Paulo Coelho
