Mmmm... Strategy, environment, separation and ambition.
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:
How to strategise.
"Always play the hand you have, not the one you wish you had." - Garry Tan
Get off the merry-go-round.
"Luck flows through people and travels by conversation. The people you talk to determine the opportunities you find.
Keep talking to the same people, keep finding the same opportunities. Start talking to new people, start finding new opportunities.
If you want different luck, start walking into different rooms." - James Clear
Leaving the herd.
“Doing what others are not will immediately separate you from the herd. How you manage it, and what you do with that separation, determines where it can take you—and just how high you can truly fly.” - Joey Cofone
1 from me
Your Environment Shapes Your Ambition.
“We like to think our ambition comes from within.
But much of it comes from what's around us.
The people you spend time with.
The conversations you have.
The books you read.
The places you go.
The ideas you're exposed to.
They all quietly shape what you believe is possible.
Spend enough time around people who settle, and settling starts to feel normal.
Spend time around people who create, build, explore and challenge themselves, and your own standards begin to rise.
Ambition is contagious.
So is complacency.
This isn't about surrounding yourself with the most successful people in the room.
It's about choosing environments that encourage curiosity, growth and possibility.
Places where people ask better questions.
Where ideas are shared freely.
Where trying something new is celebrated rather than criticised.
Your environment won't determine your future.
But it will influence the size of the future you believe you're capable of creating.
Choose your environment carefully.
One day, you'll realise it was quietly shaping you all along.”
