Embracing the Value of Hobbies and Passions Beyond Monetary Returns
Don’t get the passion and money twisted.
Were you ever that kid who had dreams of turning your passion into your career? I’m sure many of us have. It’s not particularly easy pushing yourself every day when the money is not matching your output.
It forces us to step outside of our bubble and aim to be better. In some cases, this obsession with money ends up being the thing that destroys our self-discipline.
