It’s about your vision
Chase the vision, not the money, the money will end up following you.
Tony Hsieh
As long as money is your primary goal, you will always lag far behind.
You will always be in need of more money and you won’t find satisfaction. On top of that: As long as money is your primary goal, you won’t focus on your core strenghts necessarily, instead you will try to make a quick buck.
You should focus on your core interests, on those things that make you feel happy, that make you feel satisfied, that make you feel proud. You should get good at those interests and find out how to make money out of them.
Once you have settled for a general direction, work on your dreams and work on your passion, because it will generate more money (and in a better way) than any other honest job could ever do.
Maybe it takes time. Maybe you have to live several years in relative poverty in order to pursue your personal dreams, but it will pay off. Living with a small income for some years in order to spend the rest of your life doing what you love and making a living with it is more than worth the effort.
As long as you focus on your core abilities and interests, you will be fine. Everything else will only work for a short amount of time or under great pressure.
