Mmmm... Change, bravery, proliferation and imperfections.
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:
Be the change.
“You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.” - Ursula K. Le Guin
Be vulnerable.
“Without vulnerability there's no courage. If there's no uncertainty, no risk, no exposure, you're not being that brave because there's nothing on the line.” - Brené Brown
Keep showing up.
“One study looked at artists who started at the bottom and worked their way to successful careers. The researchers identified one factor that was consistent across the group: they performed far more shows than the average artist.
The same principle holds true in many fields. If you want to rise, you need a lot of shots on goal. Keep showing up. Keep making new material. Eventually, you catch a lucky break." - James Clear
1 from me
Perfectionism is Killing Your Happiness.
“Chasing perfect keeps you stuck. The mix will never sound flawless, the track will never feel finished, the idea will never be “just right.” Perfectionism promises control, but really it steals momentum and joy.
Happiness comes from progress - sharing the work, learning as you go, and letting the imperfections make it real.”
Until next week
