Insist on yourself; never imitate … .*
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Often, when we set out to do our work, we focus on popularity and breadth at the expense of the magic and singular experience that could create a favourite. Something we’d miss if it weren’t there.**
Seth Godin

There is no one else who may respond to
the call upon your life,
Formed uniquely by the choices you have made,
The person you’ve become.
