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 we can all do.
"To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do." - Hermann Hesse
The beauty of work.
"... looking at the work done and the work still to do, most people would have written the whole thing off as too much sweat for too little gain. But I didn't want an easy life. I wanted a beautiful one." - Ben Short
Bridge the gap.
"People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will completely change everything. There is no single magic bullet. Progress is about bridging the gap between what we observe and what we can imagine - one careful step at a time." - Temple Grandin
1 from me
Be Your Own Referee.
“In creativity, no one knows the rules better than you. Others may offer opinions, but only you can decide what’s a win.
Being your own referee means calling yourself out when you’re holding back - and cheering yourself on when you push forward. It’s about knowing when to pivot, when to persevere, and when to celebrate progress.
Trust your judgment. Play the game your way.”
Until next week
