Mmmm... Divergence, focus, presence and trust.
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:
Divergent v convergent thinking.
"The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused)." - James Clear
Be near but far.
“You have to be both entirely consumed by the moment and also a million miles away.” Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson
Don’t be so certain.
“The artist is on a continually evolving path, accumulating experience but always starting over. Being an artist means accepting this as part of the process. It also means embracing paradox—more than one thing being true at once. Art is open-ended; it exists in the gaps between explanation and the work itself. Each work of art follows its own structural logic. This can fill both artists and viewers with doubt. But doubt is a sign of faith: it tests and humbles you, allows newness into your life. Best of all, doubt banishes the stifling effect of certainty. Certainty kills curiosity and change.” - Jerry Saltz

Practice The Art of Letting Go.
“Creativity isn’t about control—it’s about trust. When you let go of the need to plan every detail or achieve perfection, you create space for unexpected ideas to emerge.
Letting go means embracing the process, even when it feels messy or uncertain. Some of the best creative breakthroughs happen when you allow things to flow naturally, without forcing an outcome.
So, loosen your grip, take risks, and see where the journey takes you. In creativity, freedom often leads to brilliance.”
