There’s an adage that artists, filmmakers and story tellers really only tell one story over and over again.
Each story they tell is a version of the same thing told in a different way.
And they’re not repeating themselves, but peeling an onion. It’s an ongoing exploration of the same theme.
It’s an interesting thought and when I look to my favourite artists, writers, thought leaders and change makers it rings true.
There is a through line to their career, a central theme that ties it all together. And I don’t think this is something someone constructs, I think it comes out of you. It is you.
When I first heard the idea I didn’t like to think that people would be limited in this way.
But I think it’s only limiting in so much as we are limited by the skin that surrounds us.
It doesn’t limit us, it just is us.
