We spend a lot of time working. For most of us, our work is in creation. Thus, we spend our lives creating.
If you do not love what you are doing…stop.
It’s not worth it. If you can’t be happy investing into what you’re doing, change tracks.
It won’t be easy.
It will be scary.
There is no security.
But living miserable is not an option when creating is tied to work performance. We create from our emotion, and to move our art to the level that’s required to make a difference takes a level of ownership that can’t be fabricated.
The flip side of this equation is the importance of valuing the times when you love what you get to do…what you get to create.
When you love it, you create your best work. In fact, our work often doesn’t even feel like work because of the enjoyment that we get out of creating and the understanding that the opportunity isn’t common or freely given.
Do an inventory. If you’re spending more time dreading your work than you are inspired and excited to get up and live your art, it’s time to make a change.
