"If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you off and makes you different from every other living creature."
- Bruce Barton, American author and advertising executive

Do you know that you can make money doing something you love? Honestly, we hear a common complaint from people who are passionate about a skill, talent or interest ... "But I can't make money doing this!"
And we have to agree with them; they are 100% right. They can NOT make money doing what they love because of their own lack of belief. But take a good look around at all the people who are making LOADS OF MONEY doing what they love -- how come they can do it and you can't?? In sports, in entertainment, and in every industry imaginable there are plenty of people who are making plenty of money. There is no scarcity, money flows abundantly all around us, and there is every reason for you to stop holding yourself back and jump right into that stream!
We've heard parents with talented kids warn them to have a back-up skill because you "can't make money doing (fill in the blank -- usually something creative)." No wonder so many people are reluctant to do what they love. They're afraid.
Is there something that makes you joyful and excited? How about something that feels meaningful and brings a sense of satisfaction and happiness? Whatever does that for you is something we recommend you do or have MORE of.
There are unlimited ways to creatively add more money streaming into your life that you aren't aware of at the moment. You don't need to limit yourself to one endeavor, and you can even have money streaming in that's not the result of something you DO ...you are a creative being with multiple and expanding skills, talents and abilities that you can apply in so many ways. Take some baby steps by increasing the amount of time you FEEL GOOD, whatever that is for you. And start playing with the thought that maybe it is possible, that perhaps you can do more of what you love and find ways to love more of what you do.
go for it,

I totally agree. People are afraid because of what they've been taught. I am in a midst of a change right now. I'm changing careers to something that I've always loved, makeup and skincare. People always said go to school, get a bachelors degree at something..thats what I was doing, and wasn't happy at all out of all the majors the one I thought I might like was Graphic Design (somehting at least a little creative)..but I am a hands on person and I like graphic design but don't LOVE it. I love doing makeup and that's what I'm going to do, for rich or poor ..I will at least be HAPPY!!! I truly believe with your passion, money will follow..look at all the people like you said in entertainment. My personal favorite is Brandon Boyd, lead singer of Incubus. Artist inside and out, stuck with everything he is good at and loves and he seems to LOVE life. Do something that makes you happy people and the rest will follow! :) Thank's for your article :)
