May 24--What Motivates You?

True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world.  --Francois de la Rochefoucauld

    This is a bit of a head-scratcher for me, so here I go, in this direction... Can we do what we do best, offer our unique gift(s) to the world, without any expectation of recognition, simply for the sake of joyful self-expression? Nothing to prove, no one to please, no fame, no accolades, no trophies. It makes us look at our motivation for doing what we do. It does take a brave person to fully self-express without concern for any sort of recognition. We like being liked, being appreciated, being noticed.
