Mmmm... Mindset, courage, buying time and Beautifully Told
Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To inspire and encourage 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:
Adjust your mindset to fit with your ambitions.
“If our mindset is not aligned with our desires or goals, we will never achieve them. It’s critical to identify your limiting beliefs, stories, and deeply held beliefs, attitudes, and assumptions about yourself and what’s possible.” - Jim Kwik
Courage is a natural pursuit.
"Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed." - Terence McKenna
How to get more time for the things that really matter.
"The obvious way to buy back your time is to pay someone to do something for you. Pay the mechanic to change your oil or a dry cleaner to press your suit.
The less obvious way to buy back your time is to say no. Passing on a promotion might "buy" you more time with family. Declining the dinner invite might "pay" for the time you need to exercise. We buy back our time not only with the money we spend, but also with the opportunities we decline.
The more clearly you know how you want to spend your days, the easier it becomes to say no to the requests that steal your hours." - James Clear
1 from me
If you follow me on socials (and if not, why not?! Go here for links 👊😁) you may have seen posts for my Saturo Sounds guest mix on Akiva’s Beautifully Told show (listen and download here).
It was rescheduled to last Sunday after some technical issues the week before but was worth the wait as it was so much fun putting this together and joining the gang online.
It includes tunes from a range of genres - all with my signature deep, dark and atmospheric sound - and was good to be able to slot in a few tracks from my latest EP Snowball Effect (grab a copy here).
One of my goals since I started making music (way back in the dark ages) was to reach a level where my creations would work alongside tracks that I play.
Now I can finally tick that one off my list….. I think. 😅
