Lovely article today from Seth Godin about your art, the practicalities of money-making and quite simply, generating pure passion in your life. I couldn’t agree more with his perspective: create happiness.

Here’s a snippet:

Maybe you can’t make money doing what you love

…I think it makes sense to make your art your art, to give yourself over to it without regard for commerce.

A friend who loved music, who wanted to spend his life doing it, got a job doing PR for a record label. He hated doing PR, realized that just because he was in the record business didn’t mean he had anything at all to do with music. Instead of finding a job he could love, he ended up being in proximity to, but nowhere involved with, something he cared about. I wish he had become a committed school teacher instead, spending every minute of his spare time making music and sharing it online for free. Instead, he’s a frazzled publicity hound working twice as many hours for less money and doing no music at all.

Maybe you can’t make money doing what you love (at least what you love right now). But I bet you can figure out how to love what you do to make money (if you choose wisely).
