Lennon Bone argues that whether you create for passion or money, finishing one project is fleeting. What matters is consistency and who you become in the pursuit. Choose the discomfort of chasing your goals instead of running from it.
Probably heard someone say something like, don't go after this creative occupation unless you would just do it for free. Anyway, I think there are days when the creativity drives us and there are days when making money drives us. Personally, I think both of those things are fine. If you want to make money from your creativity, that's freaking amazing. Just know this. Completion is not the goal. Consistency is. No matter what goal you reach, it will be replaced by another one. Focus on who you want to be as you're striving to make a living doing what you love. If you do that and you stay true to who you are, even if it never works out, you will be building skills that continue to be true to you. None of us deserve to make it over somebody else, and many of us don't. If that makes you uncomfortable, that's okay. Whether you're going after it or you're not going after it, you will be uncomfortable. So which version of uncomfortable would you rather spend your days chasing? Unfortunately, most choose to be uncomfortable not chasing their dreams. You're not here long and it's good to remember that. So find your goal. Go be consistent. Because you're never gonna fully reach that goal. And I think that's the point.
