Mmmm... Self-control, inventiveness, perpetuity and momentum.
Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
Self-control beats intelligence.
“Any amount of intelligence can be overridden by: ego, insecurity, immorality, bad incentives, or impatience, usually in that order.” - Morgan Housel
The sum of your average daily habits.
"The history of every day. — What is the history of every day in your case? Look at your habits that constitute it: are they the product of innumerable little cowardices and lazinesses, or of your courage and inventive reason?" - Friedrich Nietzsche
Never-ending pursuits.
"Work is endless. Exercise is endless. Parenting is endless. Same with marriage, writing, investing, creating, and more. You get to choose the parts of your life, but many of the important things in life cannot be "finished."
Do not approach an endless game with a finite mindset. The objective is not to be done, but to settle into a daily lifestyle you can sustain and that allows you to make daily progress on the areas that matter.
Embrace the fact that life is continual and look for ways to enjoy the daily practice." - James Clear

Momentum is a Skill.
“People often wait for motivation.
But momentum rarely begins that way.
It starts small - a step, a draft, a session, a decision that moves things slightly forward.
Do that enough times and something changes. Work becomes easier to return to. Ideas connect faster. Confidence appears without announcement.
Momentum isn’t luck.
It’s built by showing up again before the previous effort fades.”
