SPREZZATURA DAY

MIND

Raphael 1483

Raphael achieved ‘sprezzatura’ which is a certain nonchalance that conceals all artistry and makes whatever he painted to look uncontrived and effortless. It was this ‘effortlessness’ of Raphael’s paintings that drove Michelangelo mad with jealousy.

I love SoulCycle. I don’t know if you can still even call it a trend at this point because it’s been around for a long time now. For me, I never get sick of it. It’s just a great workout. It’s so convenient too because they’re all over the city and they’re every hour, so you can go after work, before work, on your lunch break, any time.

SOUL

Ram Dass 1931

If you know you’re dreaming, can you continue to dream? That’s what the soul does – the soul appreciates that it’s a dream and that it contains the ego. If you push away the ego, if you cultivate an aversion to that dream, you’re never going to be free because there will be an attachment.

BONUS: William Branham 1909

The soul only has one sense: Faith (if one is born again), or unbelief (if one is not born again). It is either the nature of God or the nature of Satan

*Ram Dass makes an excellent read but Branham excels in simplicity. Ask yourself – do you have faith or unbelief?

MONEY

Billy Dee Williams 1937

Creativity costs money, even when you’re on a two-year art scholarship. The story goes that when Williams once ran out of money to pay for his art supplies, he decided to do something he hadn’t done since he was seven years old: acting.

In the end, we see that friendship has transformed Peter into a healthier version of himself. The friendship instills many facets of mental health: self-exploration (Sydney questions Peter’s motives for marriage), overcoming fears (Sydney increases Peter’s professional exposure as a real estate agent), finding balance (Peter’s sense of masculinity increases) and gaining self-efficacy (Peter learns that he can make friends). Considering the lessons about friendship buried in the subtext, I Love You, Man could also be called, I Love You, Self.
