I can relate to this article. For many years I told myself it was foolish to pursue my creative passion because money was not guaranteed, and the career I was in, if I put all my time and energy into it, I could have money.
Although it's scary, and I hesitate still, I have decided to put my free time towards developing my creative skills, and to pursue the passion. I worry that I'm "losing time" by not increasing my career skills, but I know I will regret not taking a chance on my happiness.
The simple fact is, people who may have less talent and ability than I do are making a living doing what I am passionate about. I owe it to myself to do what my soul keeps begging me to do.
