How We Need to Continue Creating Even Without Recognition

This post by Seth Godin ‘Creation/recognition‘ reminds us of the sometimes huge time gap between creation and recognition.

“There’s often a significant lag between the creation of something useful and when the market recognizes it. That’s an opportunity for speculators and investors, who can buy before the recognition happens.” And this applies to all fields of creation, from start-up companies to artists to writers to experts in a specific field.

But, and that’s the main point here, “it’s an opportunity or a trap for creators, who might get disheartened about the lack of applause and upside immediately after they’ve created something.”

The point of course here is not to look outside for recognition, but focus on the art and the purpose to deliver our best. Notwithstanding a possible time lag, if we give our best and continue to improve recognition will come eventually. Let’s not be disheartened by a lack of response of the world to our creations. Our inner fire will not be satisfied anyway. Let’s strive on to change the world.
