Everyone has the Potential, Few have the Drive
To reach Goals some only dream of
The thing most Career Lifers don’t understand is that Drive and Creativity are very much two parts of one whole. What many see as motivation is actually just the joy of creation. The happier you are doing something, the more you want to do it.
The drive to make your way up the Corporate ladder is a very weird phenomenon. Some people excel at it, some people hate it. The few that do have that drive make great employees and they make great cogs in the corporate machine.
But what’s funny is that each one of those Corporate Cogs have the potential for great creative output. They’ve lived a full life, full of unique experiences they could write about or make videos about or talk about, but they just don’t. They don’t want to put themselves out there, they just want to work, bring home their paycheck and fall asleep watching Netflix all just to do it the next day all over again.
To me, that’s the greatest tragedy of the industrial corporate complex. Not allowing ones full creativity to flourish for the sake of productivity. Even Corporations can benefit greatly from internal creativity, but they are so stuck in their bureaucracy and SOP that leave no room for error, and creativity is error in the very sense of the word, imperfect, raw, and beautiful.
