When Creating for Yourself Becomes Your Greatest Strength
What if the secret to reaching millions wasn't trying to please everyone, but creating for just one person-yourself? David Bowie understood this paradox intimately. "Never play to the gallery," he warned, knowing that chasing approval dilutes the very authenticity that makes work compelling. This isn't artistic arrogance-it's creative survival. When we craft something purely to satisfy our own standards, free from the weight of others' expectations, we tap into something raw and real. That authenticity becomes magnetic. Think about your favorite artists, writers, or musicians. What draws you to them isn't their attempt to be universally loved-it's their unmistakable voice, their willingness to risk being themselves. This principle sits at the heart of meaningful creative work: the courage to create for an audience of one unlocks the door to reaching countless others.
