Being a category of soul, creativity is not something you abandon or reject because you can’t make a living out of it.
And viceversa. You don’t choose to become a creative director (whatever that label means) because of the money you could make. You choose to be creative because you have something to say to the world. It’s like a fire within that you can’t keep inside without being burnt. It’s a mission, a way to get rid of your inner demons and colors that would not let you sleep at night otherwise.
Don’t you ever trust someone playing a creative role in any context if you can’t see a sparkle in his eyes. Don’t you rely on his job if you can’t feel he’s doing it for mere passion and for a sort of a higher reason. These people will stop in front of problems, visions, budgets, people… creatives will not. Others will come to a compromise between what’s best and what’s feasible. Because they are not really creatives, they are executors, politicians of creativity.
But if you got creativity screaming within, any obstacle, any objection won’t be able to stop you. You will keep on pushing to achieve the best.
