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:
You grow what you feed.
"The grass is only greener if you're obsessed.
It's easy to talk yourself into a new opportunity because everyone else is excited about it or the upside seems high, but the energy that comes from hype is different than the energy you need to make something part of your daily lifestyle.
It might be a good opportunity on paper, but if it isn't the type of thing you want to spend all day working on, then you probably won't stick with it. And if you won't stick with it, then it's not a good opportunity for you." - James Clear
Stay positive.
"I avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward." - Charlotte Bronte
The power of decisive action.
"Go at it boldly, and you'll find unexpected forces closing round you and coming to your aid." - Basil King
1 from me
We Make Our Own Luck.
“People love the idea of luck. As if the universe randomly picks winners.
But most “luck” isn’t random at all. It’s built quietly in the background through habits, consistency, curiosity, and showing up when it feels easier not to.
Luck happens when you’re already in motion. When you’re already doing the work. When you’ve created enough momentum that opportunities actually have something to attach to.
Email replies. Chance meetings. Random breaks. They don’t land on people who are hiding. They find the ones already in the arena.
So yes - luck exists. But it tends to favour those who make themselves available to it.
Do the work. Stay visible. Keep moving. That’s how you “get lucky.””
Until next week
