I love my work. I hate my work.

 

This has to be one of the most interesting topics on how we love and hate designing at the same time. There are aspects of any profession that one will not like. Because you to really have to embrace all aspects. If you are in a profession and you think it will always be fun then you might as well just stop working altogether.

When you learn to love all the parts it will be much easier to move through the day to day. If you hate certain parts more then others the day would be completely draining and boring. So learn to love what you do in all aspects. I’ll end it with this just think of a boxer they have to train,eat healthy and do many other things just to get to a fight and be prepared. Think of the small things as you working up to something greater.

 

There ain’t no shortcuts, you gotta do the work.

 

James Victore telling the utmost truth. Because you cannot take any shortcuts to being a good designer. The path to being a good designer is to design daily. Design daily even when you do not feel like it. Because living according to how you feel is going to really limit your growth as a professional.

The way of living according to you how you feel will limit your growth is because while you don’t feel like doing something, there is someone else who is doing the work. They are working harder then you and they want it more then you.

Stop making excuses and do the work whether its turning out crappy or not.  Because eventually it will be better over time.
