- The only way you’ll be able to consistently work, when you don’t want to work, consistently try when you don’t want to try, is by deeply and honestly caring about your work.
I really like this quote in the article. I personally want to make a YouTube Docuseries that looks at what I'm dealing with medically. Raising awareness for Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction and Chronic Pancreatitis is something I would love to do. More than that the article also states:
- Make Things For Real People
I think this is so important. Being able to relate to my audience about my illness and help them to feel my pain, laughter, suffering and joy is going to be super important to having success.
- Don’t Do Anything To Be Someone
So much truth here. I just want to share. I don't care if it makes money or gives me fame and recognition. I just want support and to share what I'm going through.
I needed this article so much right now. Thank you for the awesome share!
This is a good reminder of how work matters, and how it should matter. I guess I've alienated myself from my work because I dread failure; this is why starting over things that matter to me is so hard. As such, I learned, perhaps, that not caring about it means never getting upset or terrified about my work again, which seems to be a good thing, when in reality, it's nothing more than an illusion of escape, a phychological drug to make a world a less uncomfortable place than it is.
Reading the piece reminded me of how I love writing, and how I should get back to it despite it being crap. I'll learn to make it better as I write, I suppose.
