There will be times when you put a lot of thought and care into a project. When you consider every detail. When you adopt the role of an expert curator.

And most of it will go unappreciated. Or unnoticed. Or seemingly ignored.

Don’t lose heart.

And don’t change your ways.

Do the thoughtful work. Even if it’s only fully appreciated by one person. Even if that one person is you.

And don’t take it personally either. Beauty and craft surround us — we often don’t see it ourselves.

So do the work for the sake of the work, not the recognition.

The world needs your contribution.
