On-screen text
Creatives have a low tolerance
for misalignment
It's not that you hate work
that sucks your soul.
It's that you have literally zero
tolerance for it.
You have zero tolerance for
work you don't care about.
You have even less tolerance
for a schedule full of shit that
you don't wanna do.
Obviously no one wants this,
but a lot of people, most
people, tolerate it. You do not.
That's the difference. And
that's because you're a
creative at heart.
People like us can't do cages,
we can't do work. That
doesn't mean anything or
doesn't make a difference.
If you're in a job or a work
situation that feels insufferable,
it's no wonder you carry such
a negative feeling towards the
word "work" or "job".
Like your viewpoint of it
actually makes a lot of sense.
Cause the way you've been
doing it,
or maybe the way you've
been taught to do it,
or the way you feel like you
have to do it,
just completely not a match
for who you are deep down
and the work you were put
here to do.

You don’t hate work. You hate putting your time & energy into anything that isn’t what you were put here to do or create. And that’s a good thing. 🧑🎨🫶🏼🧚🏻 #careerpivot #madeformore #careerchange #careershift #creatives
