Everyone's an artist now.
It's time to stop complying with the system and draw your own map.
You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious.
Only you can do it, and you must."
Are You Indispensable?
Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
Amazon Price: $4.01 (as of 05/31/2012)![]()
The person whom Godin characterizes as "indispensable" is defined by what is indispensable to that person. It could well be, for example, a sincere desire to be of service to others. Or it could well be a sincere desire to offer unconditional "gifts" of trust, faith, respect, and candor. Those whom Godin characterizes as "artists" possess the vision, faith, courage, integrity, and commitment needed to create -- in collaboration with others -- a "post-commercial world that feeds us, enriches us, and gives us the stability we've been seeking for so long." That said, it would be a serious mistake to underestimate or ignore the importance of self-interests. Those who create the world to which Godin refers also feed and enrich themselves as well as those whom they serve and with whom they share a community of faith. Only then can they obtain for themselves as well as others the stability they have been seeking for so long. That should be our vision and Godin challenges us to fulfill it. Robert Morris
