“Do what you love and the money will follow.” ~ Marsha Sinetar
I love the optimism of this quotation, and for the most part, I believe it’s true. If you’ve not read Marsha Sinetar’s book (by the same title), she can make a believer out of you as well. Her book is a practical and inspirational primer on getting your passion to pay off.
Marsha Sinetar is not the first to advise us along these lines. One of Buddha’s main steps for achieving enlightenment, for example, is discovering your right livelihood. And at the other end of the spectrum, John D. Rockefeller believed that the power to make money was a gift from God, which is simply another way of saying, “Do what you love and the money will follow.”
But still we ask: Does it really?
Yes. But not the way you’re used to getting it. First, unless you win the lottery, the money usually doesn’t come all at once, especially in the beginning. Second, the money will come from unexpected sources. But it will come and here’s why. When you start following your true path and passion, you’re finally using your talents and skills that are more natural to you. Imagine doing something that is forced and unenjoyable. Do you think you’ll put your best efforts into it? Trust me, doing what you love does eventually lead to the ATM. But you might have a few detours before you get there.

It would be wonderful if we could simply walk up to a cosmetic counter and purchase a bottle of self-confidence the way we can buy “revitalizing” or “lifting” creams for our faces. Unfortunately this spiritual elixir, like an expensive perfume, is different on every woman because of individual chemistry.
