The most important thing is doing what you truly love. Forget if it pays at first. Do something you love obsessively and aim for mastery. If you give it everything you’ve got, all of yourself, you’ll eventually become your best at it. The money will follow. You must find real, honest happiness in your life. A fixed income can’t solve what only purpose can. Don’t take the path of safety. Give your dream absolute priority. Don’t have a Plan B.
