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:
A simple life.
“Your life does not need to be easier, it needs to be simpler.
Your system is designed to handle stress and challenge but not complication.
You probably handle hard things pretty well but feel overwhelmed when they become messy.
Do not attribute to difficulty that which can be explained by complexity.” - Chris Williamson
2 simple things.
“Master your internal monologue and master your daily attention. Most tips, tricks, and tactics ultimately come back to these two things.” - James Clear
Just start.
"Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." - W. H. Murray
1 from me
Simplicity Is a Form of Mastery.
“Complexity is easy.
You can always add another feature, another idea, another layer. More words. More notes. More options.
Simplicity is harder.
It asks you to remove what isn't essential. To strip away the noise until only what truly matters remains.
That takes confidence.
Beginners often believe more equals better. Masters understand that every unnecessary element competes with the important ones.
Think about the things that stay with you.
A melody you can't forget.
A sentence that changes your perspective.
A product that's effortless to use.
Their power doesn't come from complexity.
It comes from clarity.
Simplicity isn't about doing less for the sake of it.
It's about making space for what matters most.
The goal isn't to impress people with how much you can add.
It's to leave them wondering how you achieved so much with so little.
Because simplicity isn't the absence of depth.
It's the result of understanding it.”
