I saw this prompt from 
And now I ask myself the question, Do I see myself as more motivated by passion, profit or inpendence. Firstly, we got to understand the meaning of all three and how they correlate with living. Passion is this undiluted enthusiasm for something, to do something. And then we have the one thing that squashes “passion” to the ground, profit and the need to survive. And then, we have independence. We’’ll go with financial independence.
Some years back, this wouldn’t even be something I’ll have to think about. I’ll open my mouth and say “passion” straight. It was passion first and then, profit and then, independence. It was in this very order. If I do something I love and get paid doing it, I’ll eventually be independent. Yes, that was the plan. And the ideal.
And now, present day, I have been opportuned to do something I love to do and get paid for it and I can’t help but say it’s not a good experience. I loved it at first; but eventually it began to feel forced, like I was deliberately doing it just to meet a deadline and then profit. My passion for it began to decelerate but it didn’t fade away. It’s still there but not just in the time and space, I want it to be in. It’s like I did better when I didn’t feel pressure and something tells me that’s how it is for most people.
So now, I’ll go with independence. Financial independence, the ability to afford what I want whenever I want it. That’s what motivates me the most, I want my kids to be nepo kids and I want to eventually create a better life for the people around me. I just want to take care of the people that always had my back. And it hasn’t changed since it changed. Independence. That’s what motivates me.
Thanks for reading.
