Dodging Bullets
It happens to everyone. Iām not looking to pitch or convince. I am simply doing the work.
Iām getting closer.
When do you love what you do? When you decide to. When you invest in it and train yourself to see the positives. What we all want is to feel accepted. This is juts a memory. Youāre only reliving it; remembering how the day went. Youāre viewing what landed you in heaven or hell in real time. If you believe in that stuff. Never forget: to be in the right place at the right time can change the trajectory of your life. If what you have in your head can make you money and you see how it can be sustainable and secure donāt leave it in your head or to live as notes. Actualize and draw it out. Draw. Pull. Pull it out into reality.
Illustrate, conceptualize, collaborate, trouble shoot, reverse engineer, and tweak daily. You canāt be āthe game-changerā, āgeniusā who ādidnāt take the common road and broke social norms that changed history and the status quoā and āexposed the agenda of the secret governmentā by applying to schooling debt, believing what you never researched for yourself, applying to dream killing 9-5ās, never doing the work and letting it speak for itself by letting quality defend it and consistency promote it. If a 16K animation gig is sitting in your email and you start training for your restaurant manager job tonight so you can save enough money to become an animator is clocking-in placing you in a right place right time scenario? Why not clock in as the animator? This is a memory, remember? Do you not remember today changing your life?
No one else is supposed to say you make sense for creating your own fantasy world and living in it. When to be around you means to forget what you thought you knew, thatās when youāre causing rifts. Shortly there will be glimpses of your fantasy bleeding into otherās realities too and being around you is more like being in your world to them. This world does not exist without you to them at this point. But to achieve this your fantasy world must not cease to exist despite what your ears, your eyes, you bank, your day, your family, your friends attempt to convince you. Unless you asked to be here, this world owes you something and you can have anything. You must be adamant about convincing yourself that you donāt have to make sense to anyone but to those who will show you the roads and open the doors. Honestly everyone else are just bots.
So where you at the desk when you got the email? The one about the job with the 40K monthly retainer, the 40K sign on bonus, and the 280K salary? Or did you have to quit a job to respond because your boss said no phones. Was it your office desk? No office? The desk in your home studio? No house? Were you working on your apartment coffee table on the couch? Because your life is about to change from doing the work. Not from getting your life together so you can do the work. Tell yourself you love it.
