"Like I would be killing myself trying to finish financial statements or worrying about having to fire someone at the gym because they weren't doing their job where I could potentially be ruining their lives, but now you don't want to film a video that you love to do? So yeah, I'm taking that perspective of understanding how lucky I am to be doing what I'm doing and have this as a career."
Gratitude shapes a perspective that minimizes fleeting reluctance to create videos by comparing it with far heavier responsibilities. The comparison contrasts a temporary unwillingness to be silly on camera with the stress of finishing financial statements and the moral burden of letting employees go, which could harm livelihoods. That reframing cultivates accountability to continue producing creative work and reinforces appreciation for having an enjoyable profession. The stance emphasizes recognizing personal luck and privilege in turning a passion into a career, reducing self-complaint and motivating continued effort despite occasional resistance.
