I haven't always been lucky.
Throughout my adult life, I've worked with my fair share of difficult personalities - assholes, narcs, toxic individuals, and even with some racists. While I've encountered less of this in Canada, these types of people are everywhere.
Through navigating these challenging environments, I've come to a vital realization: the importance of doing what you love, surrounded by people you genuinely enjoy being with.
This isn't just about comfort; it's about fostering a positive, inspiring atmosphere that drives creativity and growth.
Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals, those who share your passion and values, can completely transform your work experience. It makes the journey more fulfilling and the output more productive.
So, invest time in finding your tribe - the ones who uplift, challenge, and support you. This is a game-changer for both personal happiness and professional success.
Working on projects that resonate with your passion, each challenge becomes an exhilarating puzzle rather than a draining task. When you collaborate with individuals who share your enthusiasm and vision, it not only enhances the quality of your work but also enriches the entire experience.
Remember, in the world of Visual Effects, it's not just about creating stunning imagery; it's also about the joy and fulfillment found in the creative process. Choose projects that excite you, team up with people who inspire you, and witness the transformation in your professional life.
For me, nothing has been more gratifying than to have taught my students alongside my friends for the past 13 years.
