I like mixed drinks, salads or colors. But the secret of mixing is: You need to taste each of the uniqueness of things. Also, they need to create something new with all their efforts without losing their identity.
Building your vision or mental models, you need to feed your brain with different perspectives, writers, environments, food, etc.
Try new things. After your first impression, maybe mix it with your old ones. You will surprise how amazing things might bear with those combinations.
