I agree on all points. We need to spend our precious time on what truly matters, which rarely has a monetary assessment. And work on our own hearts and minds so we can be lights for this world and for ourselves.

Although I feel fortunate to be among those who don't depend upon my art to be able to live, it is hard not to hope that others will recognize the joy and satisfaction felt when creating my art.

After all... if there is no joy... what's the point?

"Look for the things that cannot be monetized and you will find the very things that are priceless." Thoroughly brilliant. Not just that eminently quotable line, but the whole meditation. Thank you, Clint.

May I ask who is the artist that has created the Moby Dick image at the top of the article? I can't seem to find anything with a reverse image research. Thank you!

I created it with Midjourney

Love the article! Hate to see the word "monetize " everywhere!
