Mmmm... Obsession, progress, uniqueness and strategy.
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:
Purpose or pastime?
"Obsessions are the only things that matter." - Patricia Highsmith
You can’t think your way to success.
“Thinking about your problems will never solve them. Waiting around to feel like doing something means you’ll never do it. It taught me that no one is coming to save you. You must save yourself from yourself. You have to force yourself to make little moves forward, all day, every day, especially when you don’t feel like it.” - Mel Robbins
Be unmistakable.
“When you're the only person who could have created a work of art, the competition and standard metrics by which things are measured become irrelevant because nothing can replace you. The factors that distinguish you are so personal than nobody can replicate them.” - Srinivas Rao
1 from me
Your Standards Are Your Strategy.
“Most people think strategy is about plans, timing, or opportunities.
Often it’s simpler than that.
Your standards decide the trajectory long before the results appear. What you’re willing to release. What you’re willing to tolerate. What you’re willing to redo.
Raise your standards and your work changes. Lower them and the ceiling comes down quietly.
Over time, people don’t remember your intentions. They remember what you consistently allowed into the world.
Strategy isn’t always visible.
Standards are.”
Until next week
