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:
Little by little.
"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain." - Emily Dickinson
Grind it out.
"Inspiration comes on the twenty-fifth attempt, not the first. If you want to make something excellent, don't wait for a brilliant idea to strike. Create twenty-five of what you need and one will be great. Inspiration reveals itself after you get the average ideas out of the way, not before you take the first step." - James Clear
Keep pushing..
“…the sooner you acknowledge that the quality of your output is directly proportional to the input of your effort, the closer you will be to unlocking your fullest creative potential.” - Quincy Jones
1 from me
Stack habits for creativity.
“One of the easiest ways to bring more creativity into your life is through habit stacking.
By pairing a small creative practice with something you already do daily—like sketching while you have your morning coffee or jotting ideas after a workout—you integrate creativity seamlessly.
These tiny creative moments build up over time, transforming into powerful routines.
Habit stacking lets creativity fit into your life naturally, without needing extra time or energy.
So, start small, stack it onto what’s already there, and watch your creative momentum grow.”
Until next week
