Mmmm... Strategising, systemitising, believing and negotiating.
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:
What is strategy?
“Who will we become, who will we be of service to, and who will they help others to become.” - Seth Godin
Systematise to free your mind.
"Routines, checklists, and systematic phases for different aspects of your creative work are a few ways you can automate the regular part of making new work." - Scott H. Young
Be a true believer.
"It's not my job to tell myself no. The world will offer plenty of obstacles. I don't need to add to them. My mind is my friend. I am my own biggest believer.” - James Clear
1 from me
Most Limits Are Negotiable.
“Many of the rules people live by are assumptions, not facts.
Question them.
Many of the limits we live with were never really limits.
They were assumptions. Expectations. Stories we accepted without ever questioning.
"This is how it's always been done."
"I'm not qualified enough."
"People like me don't do that."
The more often you hear something, the more it starts to feel like a fact.
But facts and beliefs aren't the same thing.
History is full of people who ignored the rules everyone else took for granted. They asked different questions, challenged accepted wisdom, and discovered that many boundaries only existed because no one had tested them.
That doesn't mean every limit can be broken.
Some are real.
But far more are self-imposed, inherited, or simply outdated.
Before accepting a limitation, ask yourself:
Who says?
You might find the only thing standing in your way is an assumption you've never challenged.
Question the rules.
Challenge the stories.
You may discover that most limits are far more negotiable than they first appear.”
