Don’t tell me to do otherwise

Time comes when your passion becomes business and some partnerships, sponsors, will eventually demand all sorts for the sake of higher sales or publicity… to the point that sometimes you’re left compromising your work or you forget the very reason why you’re doing what you’re doing.

Meet half way if you can but don’t compromise.

Take note of criticisms but be aware of what are valid and what aren’t.

Do it for the advocacy and not for the sales.

Partner with the people who believe in your potential (and advocacy), not those who think you can make them money.

Be kind, be keen, be civil. don’t burn bridges.

Do it even when no one is applauding.

Do it because you’re the one who has that calling, not them.

Your ultimate backer aren’t the big guys but THE ONE who placed that passion in your heart.

He WILL.

I’ll keep telling visual stories for my God, for my culture and for the next generation. Iknow what I’m doing. Don’t tell me to do otherwise.
