One of my mentors told me there are 3 things to consider about any job: work, pay, and people. If you only like 1/3, you should probably leave. If you like 2/3, you have to evaluate whether you can live without the third. If you like 3/3, you should probably stay.

“Embracing change is essential for personal growth and development. It challenges us to step out of our comfort zones, confront our fears, and adapt to new situations. By embracing change, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and experiences. It expands our horizons, fosters resilience, and sparks creativity. Embracing change allows us to seize unexpected opportunities and navigate life’s uncertainties with confidence. It’s a transformative mindset that empowers us to grow, innovate, and make a positive impact in our lives and communities. So, embrace change, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and continuous growth.”

In the early stages of my design career, I had the opportunity to work on a project designing the album art cover for a hip-hop song. At that time, I didn't attach much significance to it. Surprisingly, that particular song has now achieved platinum status. However, when I reflect on that project, it's one piece of work that makes me cringe a bit. I believe many people can relate to having a similar experience, where looking back, we see room for improvement in our earlier creations.

Discover a pursuit that brings you unending joy and fulfillment, a passion that ignites your spirit day and night. While every job may have its challenging moments, identifying an endeavor that captivates you effortlessly will unlock boundless opportunities.
Even if financial considerations were not a factor, I would continue pursuing my current path because it aligns with my deep-rooted passion, offers enjoyment, and brings a profound sense of satisfaction. Seek out that one thing that lights you up propels you forward, and you'll find a career that never feels like work.
