Yes, it can just be yourself. And you will still reap enormous benefits from it if you have given over your whole being, and your heart, and your passion, your ability, your technical know-how, enthusiasm, time, financial commitment, all of those things that have to take place for a long-term project, it still can be just for you and be meaningful.
