Mmmm... Inspiration, competition, boredom and bonfires

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:

Be inspirational.

“You want to see your work as something more inspiring, as part of your vocation. The word “vocation” comes from the Latin meaning to call or to be called.” - Robert Greene


Healthy competition.

“When you compete against everyone else, no one wants to help you. But when you compete against yourself, everyone wants to help you.” - Simon Sinek


Embrace the boredom.

"Mastery requires lots of practice. But the more you practice something, the more boring and routine it becomes.

Thus, an essential component of mastery is the ability to maintain your enthusiasm. The master continues to find the fundamentals interesting." - James Clear


1 from me

“Be a bonfire not a firework.

Sorry to all the Katy Perry fans out there but I’d rather be a bonfire than a firework.

Fireworks are colourful and awe-inspiring but always fizzle away to nothing.

A bonfire gives light and warmth and will continue to burn for as long as you give it the fuel it needs.

And although it’s possible to light a bonfire with a firework, a bonfire can light unlimited fireworks.”


Until next week
