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:
True authenticity.
”When you operate with love, honesty, and respect, you attract people who do the same. Together you enrich each other’s lives. You teach and help one another. Through reciprocity, you lift yourselves higher and higher. It is in that place of maximum compassion and collaboration that your creations are able to bloom to their full extent.” - Joey Cofone
Time to upgrade how you see yourself?
"You will rarely outperform your self-image.” - James Clear
Tough times.
"Assume life will be really tough, and then ask if you can handle it. If the answer is yes, you've won.”
“Life is very likely to provide terrible blows, unfair blows. Some people recover, and others don't. And there I think the attitude of Epictetus helps guide one to the right reaction. He thought that every mischance in life, however bad, created an opportunity to behave well. He believed every mischance provided an opportunity to learn something useful. And one's duty was not to become immersed in self-pity, but to utilize each terrible blow in a constructive fashion." - Charlie Munger

You Are Allowed to Change Your Mind
“We sometimes treat changing our minds as a sign of weakness.
As though changing direction means we got it wrong.
So we stick with decisions that no longer feel right, pursue goals we've outgrown and defend opinions we no longer believe.
Not because they still serve us, but because we've already invested so much in them.
Time. Energy. Identity.
But the person who made that original decision didn't have everything you know now.
You've had new experiences. You've learned new things. Your priorities may have changed.
Why should your decisions remain the same when you've changed?
Consistency doesn't mean refusing to reconsider. It means being honest about what you know now.
Of course, not every difficult moment is a reason to quit. Sometimes you need to push through discomfort rather than change direction.
But there's a difference between giving up because something is hard and moving on because you've realised it's no longer right for you.
You don't owe your past self a lifetime of loyalty to a decision made with less experience and less information.
You can appreciate what something taught you without continuing to pursue it.
You can acknowledge that a previous choice made sense at the time and still decide differently today.
Changing your mind doesn't erase the journey. The experience, lessons and growth still count.
So ask yourself:
Am I continuing because this still matters to me, or because I've invested too much to walk away?
You don't have to keep being someone you've outgrown just to prove you were right all along.
Sometimes, the most sensible thing you can do is change your mind.”
