We must do our work for its own sake, not for fortune or fame or applause. It's one of my favorite quotes from this book, The War of Art, and I love to give it attention from time to time because this book means so much to me. It helps you overcome resistance and get good work done. Too many people are insecure on social media about their comment section, about the number of likes or views they get on a video. You must produce good content and help other people for the sake of producing good content and helping other people. But if you want to overcome that resistance and create better content for your community, you should start here. The War of Art by author Steven Pressfield.
