We agree with this heartily.

The moment one begins crafting something so that others will approve of it, one has valued the approval of others over the commitment to what one is creating.

Fear of disapproval is sneaky, and motivates the ego toward reaction, which can subtly poison one's entire effort.

Make what you make, discover your own path, and if others follow it... then it has value to them, because they decided it does. Not because you worried about whether it would.
