Mmmm... Commitment, slip ups, vulnerability and self-compassion.

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:

All or nothing.

“For as long as I can remember, my daddy would tell me every day, “Once a task has just begun, never leave it ’til it’s done. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all.”” - Quincy Jones


Blunder your way to success.

"Mistakes are the portals of discovery." - James Joyce


Be vulnerable.

“Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experiences.” - Brené Brown


1 from me

Don’t be so Hard on Yourself.

“Creativity isn’t a straight line - it’s messy, uneven, and often frustrating. There will be days when the ideas don’t flow, when nothing sounds right, or when you feel like you’re going backwards. That doesn’t mean you’re failing - it means you’re human.

Progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, learning, and trying again. Give yourself the same patience and kindness you’d offer anyone else on their journey.

The work will grow if you let yourself grow with it.”


Until next week
