Money Vs. Your Passion: What’s Most Important?

Money or your passion? It’s a pretty simple question. Do you focus on what you love, or making money? Do you risk screwing up over expressing your passion? Currently, I am between a rock and a hard place. I’ve received a lot of feedback in the past few days about what my focus should be in the coming week and it leaves me feeling confused and misguided.

I know that money is essential to our survival. And, certainly, I could use a good amount of it right now to get back on my feet, realize some goals, etc. However, with the opportunity that is before me, I am not convinced this is the moment to focus on money. If I shift my focus away from the purpose of this opportunity, I run the risk of looking foolish, while diminishing a new form of credibility I’ve never had to date.

I realize there are many people who want me to shine in this new opportunity and leverage it in a way which produces income. I’d like nothing more than that to be true, especially given my current position financially as a self-employed individual. However, I am not certain that this is the opportunity to focus on how to make money. In fact, it’s not even about me. I’m simply participating. If I go into this thinking about how to make money, I am almost certain something will backfire.

However, if I go into this with my heart focused on the purpose, I believe a new world of opportunity will be realized without even attempting to make it happen. It’s a tough situation to be in at this point, and while there are no guarantees, I feel more comfortable following my heart rather than what could flush my pockets with cash.

Somehow, I believe everything people need to know will come across in the delivery of what I love and why I’m inspired by the individual I’ll be speaking about next week. The opportunity in itself is priceless and I can only hope to do what I believe is right, which is sharing my respect for a phenomenal individual.
