"The most important thing when creating art is that you know what you want to say with it."

When I make art I do so only to please myself and without any preconceived notions or intentions as to what it should be or what messages it's to convey.

It completely does not matter to me what, if anything, anyone else gets out of it.

Probably because the OP's intention is to "...inspire people to change their life for the better". Put emphasis on "inspiring people".

But nevertheless I'm agree what that. Whenever I take a look at my photos, I found most of them are boring, even though I tried to be intentional (not taking random snapshots). Beyond visual beauty or adhesion to composition guidelines, I rarely find them tickling my brain.

Guess reading aesthetics can made you too self-critical :p
