"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:
Train your pet.
“Possessing a creative mind, after all, is something like having a border collie for a pet: It needs to work, or else it will cause you an outrageous amount of trouble. Give your mind a job to do, or else it will find a job to do, and you might not like the job it invents (eating the couch, digging a hole through the living room floor, biting the mailman, etc.). It has taken me years to learn this, but it does seem to be the case that if I am not actively creating something, then I am probably actively destroying something (myself, a relationship, or my own peace of mind).” - Elizabeth Gilbert
Commit to quality.
"Simply by placing yourself in a situation where there exists pressure to succeed, even if moderate, can provide an important accelerant in your quest for quality.” - Cal Newport
Make a dent in the universe.
“What sets universe-denters apart from the rest is their willingness to fly in the face of uncertainty, while everyone else stands rooted to the ground.” - Ozan Varol
1 from me
“If you’re always stretching yourself and taking three steps forward every day, when you have to take two steps back - because you’re having a bad day, have a cold or generally feeling under par - you’ll still be one step ahead”
