ILLUMINAKING: Work Is Not A Burden


Well someone told not to treat work like a burden and I never did. Seriously I never see my work as a burden and in fact I'm so happy and proud with my work and you can ask my friends if you don't believe me. That's why I've never tried to look for other job that is outside my passion. My passion is to create and share my creation with people. That's why I chose to be a content creator/developer or whatever you want to call it.

My work is never a burden to me, but someone made it so. I've never complain when it comes to helping others out while having so much in my plate because I believe that one day they will help me too. It was so stupid of me to think that because how much can someone who is not in your field can help you? Not of these people now my working process because there are not doing what I'm doing. Not that I'm saying I'm doing more work than other people or I'm suggesting that my work is super hard and important. All roles and work are equally important and that is why I'm having a hard time to seek help from others because I know how overwhelming people can be when we ask them for help.

I'm not trying to play the victim card or blaming people for my stress but is it really my fault when people started to abuse me just because I said I love to create content? Just because they know creating content is something I love doing so they think it is okay to put all the content work on my shoulder without even thinking that I might have too much? So is it wrong for me to feel burden now? Because I am and I'm don't even treat my work as a burden before.

So for people to tell me that I should see every task is a learning process and treat it as a challenge. How about I challenge you to come up with 4 Blog post/Articles, 4 self produced videos, 20+ visuals with captions, reach out to at least 25 parents, get at least 20 activities to sponsor parents, analyzing your content performance while 'unwillingly volunteering' to manage another company's social media accounts in a month. Maybe I'm not as competent as you are and perhaps you can do a better job than myself. Try to do all of that in a month a let me know if you can treat work not as burden to you?

P/S: All I ever wanted was a person, not two but just one person who I can work with full time!
