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:
How to succeed.
“To succeed you have to produce the absolute best stuff you’re capable of producing—a task that requires depth.” - Cal Newport
Forge a path.
“I believe that survival is also an act of creativity. It’s a matter of seeking out new ways to stay inspired, and creating paths that lead to a better future for yourself, and in turn, others.” - Quincy Jones
Keep going.
“When it comes to the process, just persist, persist, persist. It has positive effects for your ideas, but also for the entire human machine that produces those ideas.” - Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson
1 from me
Beware of over optimising at the expense of resilience.
“Optimisation can be a trap. In our drive to make things faster, smoother, and more efficient, we risk losing resilience—the ability to adapt when things go wrong.
True creativity and growth thrive in flexibility. Perfection isn’t sustainable, but resilience is.
Leave room for detours, mistakes, and surprises. They’re not inefficiencies—they’re opportunities for innovation.
So, optimise wisely, but never at the cost of your capacity to bounce back and evolve.”
