Mmmm... Comparison, connections, inaction and routines.
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:
Don’t compare to today.
“If you listen to the greatest music ever made, that would be a better way,” he says, “to find your own voice to matter today than listening to what’s on the radio and thinking: ‘I want to compete with this.’ It’s stepping back and looking at a bigger picture than what’s going on at the moment.” - Ryan Holiday
Make connections.
“Connection is why we’re here. We are hardwired to connect with others, it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering.” - Brené Brown
Consider the cost of inaction.
“We remember the noise of bad choices. We rarely count the cost of silence.” - Chris Williamson
1 from me
Break Routines.
“Creativity stagnates in autopilot. If you want fresh ideas, shake up the pattern.
Walk a different route. Flip your schedule. Change the order you do things.
New inputs lead to new outputs. Disrupt the default - and watch the ideas flow.”
Until next week

PS: I post regular clips from my live jams and new ideas over on Instagram. If you fancy a listen or want to chat creativity, come say hi – I’m always up for connecting. 🙏 I’ll also be at ADE this year, so if you’re heading over too, let’s connect!
