Art and Intention: "Your work is a gift. Because if you can think about your work as a gift and not like a chore, or not like something you do for a job or something you do for money, it changes how you think about the work. And it changes who you work for. It changes you.  Changes what your intention is. And now your intention is to give a part of yourself."— James Victore
