Finding Balance in Creativity and Career
Striking a balance between creativity and career can be a significant challenge for artists and creators. Many individuals become preoccupied with external validations such as views, clicks, and profit, which can detract from their intrinsic motivation to create. This obsession often leads to a disconnect from personal passion, making it difficult to remember why one began their creative journey in the first place. Recognizing the risk of 'selling out' can help creators acknowledge the importance of maintaining their genuine voice while navigating the pressures of a competitive market.
