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:
Happiness.
“Happiness is having better challenges.
Success is having better failures.
Discipline is having better addictions.” - Mark Manson
Create more than you consume.
"The measure of a life is not what you consume, but what you contribute.
Spend less time owning, consuming, taking. Spend more time giving, creating, making." - James Clear
Play on.
“I play and keep playing because I choose to play. Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.” - Andre Agassi

Some Answers Only Appear After You Act.
“It's tempting to believe that if we think long enough, we'll eventually find the right answer.
We weigh up the options.
Consider every possible outcome.
Wait until we feel ready.
But thinking can only take us so far.
You can research a new direction for months without knowing whether you'll enjoy it.
You can plan a creative project in your head without discovering what it's capable of.
You can wonder whether something is right for you without ever finding out.
Because some information only becomes available through experience.
You don't know what you'll learn until you try.
You don't know what you're capable of until you push beyond what you already know.
And you don't always discover what matters to you by asking yourself the right questions. Sometimes you discover it by doing something and paying attention to how it feels.
Action gives you information that thinking alone cannot.
This doesn't mean rushing into every decision or ignoring the risks. It means recognising when you're no longer gaining anything from thinking about something and need to test it in the real world.
Start small.
Try the idea.
Have the conversation.
Make the first version.
Take the opportunity.
You can adjust as you learn. You can change direction when new information appears.
But you can't learn from an experience you never have.
So if you're stuck weighing up a possibility, ask yourself:
What could I do today that would help me find out?
You don't need to commit to the whole journey.
Sometimes, you just need to take the first step and see what it teaches you.”
