Don't be the machine you are not

This is important message for all those who know they are killing themselves doing what they do. You know that creative spark. I have one word for you to remember.

"Tinker!"

Don't force yourself to like something. Play with the idea of liking something. Don't force yourself to do work you hate. Give the work a shot, play while you work, tinker while you work. 

When you want to become something your not currently. Slow and steady will get you to a place your happy with. This is a hard topic to convey. So I give a rule of thumb, when you hate what you are doing, attempt to have fun with it, if you can't find a way to have fun with it, drop it. Don't kill your spark, feel alive.
