Today we are going to talk about the value of the subjective, the emotional component that is critical to the success of every creative business.  It is knowing the difference between drawing birds and clouds and when you might share each.  It is also knowing that the language of emotional and its return dwarfs anything rational.  In the end, what it means is that you have to stop playing the game you are not very good at and start (or only) play the one you are.

Remind yourself why you do what you do. You create joy and you do it with intention. When things go awry it is all too often because the singular purpose has been misformed by ego, by manipulation and by a loss of connection.
