Wherever you are, whether it’s your workplace, whether it’s your home, maybe you’re on the road, but try to make your journey each day as beautiful as possible. It could be if you’re on the road or maybe at home, just go out and buy some non-expensive, fresh flowers for your kitchen table, for example. It might be spending more time in nature every day, just getting out into some sunshine and into a park.
Being an aesthetic could be you treat yourself on a project well done to a beautiful piece of clothing.
There’s nothing wrong with material things. We are sensory creatures, and those things make us happy. So, if you like style which is wonderful, then go out and buy something beautiful that’s going to feel good on your body. Probably love gre
at food. It doesn’t have to be expensive. It doesn’t have to be a three Michelin star restaurant, but going to a restaurant that has a great vibe to it, great soul, some magic to it, where the food is great and the energy is good, that’s being around beauty, isn’t it?
And then, of course, it could be physical beauty. It could be you take a trip. Maybe it’s to Paris, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and you walk along the Seine or you go to one of the great parks, or you go to an art gallery. I always believe, and I spent a lot of time in art galleries across the world, like the Tate Modern, for example, one of my favorite galleries in London, and I find when you are around masterpieces and great beauty, like great art, you are communing with the creator of that art, and
whether it’s Picasso or whether it’s Turner, you are communing with the creator of that art and that beauty that you’re looking at and savoring starts to rub off on you.
So, the idea that I really want you to focus on and think about in the month ahead and the years ahead is to be an aesthetic. Whatever you do, make it beautiful, and wherever you are, find some ways, large or small, to add beauty to your experience, and that is a great way to journey through life and really calibrate and upgrade your lifestyle to world-class.
