Branding demands commitment; commitment to continual re-invention; striking cords with people to stir their emotions; and commitment to imagination. It is easy to be cynical about such things, much harder to be successful.

There comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But know that it's still there.
