By believing your work is a 'gift,' it radically changes what you create. I think this is a revolutionary idea. It's no longer about client approval or a paycheck, but aspiring to make work that has meaning and purpose in your life and for your audience.

If your work appeals to everyone, it moves no one
The life you want doesn't exist. You have to make it up.
No one can stand in the way of your personal greatness
Go have fun and make money
