"To encourage and inspire creativity by sharing more wisdom every week than any electronic artist in the world.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
Release the pressure.
"When your output is only one step among many on a collaborative path toward creative progress, the pressure to get everything just right is reduced." - Cal Newport
Worth taking your time over.
“Finding your voice is one of the most important experiences you will ever have. And the process cannot be rushed. Likewise, it isn’t just something that magically “happens.” Instead, it’s both an exercise in discipline and a process of discovery that allows for—and requires—a lot of experimentation and failure. Most of the time, finding your voice takes years of practice and repetition, frustration, agony, humiliation, and self-doubt.” - Lisa Congdon
The road less travelled.
“Create the paths you want to walk on.
You might just discover a journey that’s not only less crowded but also far more fulfilling.” - Ozan Varol
1 from me
“If in doubt zoom out.
In our creative journeys, it's easy to get bogged down by the details and lose sight of the bigger picture. Whenever you feel stuck or unsure, take a step back.
Look at your work from a broader perspective. This can help you gain clarity, see connections you might have missed, and find new inspiration.
Remember, sometimes the solution isn't in the minutiae but in understanding how it all fits together. Zooming out can provide the insight you need to move forward.
Stay focused, stay inspired, and keep creating. Your creativity flourishes when you see the bigger picture.”
