Mmmm... Mistakes, finishing, skills and mind the gap

Things to make you go Mmmm…

"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:

Make mistakes.

“Yes, mistakes can be painful. The pain of making a mistake is the price of admission to a courageous life, and I’m happy to pay it.” - Ozan Varol


Get shit done.

"You have to finish things — that's what you learn from, you learn by finishing things." - Neil Gaiman


The compound effect.

"Excellence is mundane. Superlative performance is really a confluence of dozens of small skills or activities, each one learned or stumbled upon, which have been carefully drilled into habit and then are fitted together in a synthesized whole. There is nothing extraordinary or superhuman in any one of those actions; only the fact that they are done consistently and correctly, and all together, produce excellence.” - Daniel Chambliss


1 from me

"Accept the Beginner’s Gap.

There will always be someone ahead of you. Use that as inspiration.

Seeing the quality you aspire to but not quite hitting it yet is part of the journey.

Stay patient, keep practicing, and bridge that gap.

Every step forward is progress so keep creating."


Until next week
