We cannot avoid that money would play a role for us to keep going and getting motivated on what we do. There are people who can’t seem to be happy and motivated to continue working because of their poor financial status.
But at the same time, we are also not happy and easily get bored if we just work for something that is not giving us the passion, excitement, etc., despite receiving at least a decent amount of money every day, week, month or so.
For us to sustain, we must balance both passion and money. Never quit from your boring job to fully focus on your passion. That is my biggest mistake back then years ago where I quit my high paying job to chase my passion, but in the end I cannot sustain myself and got broke.
You must be financially stable and established first before you can fully enjoy what you’ve been passionate on.
Many people are motivated by money because money can give power, popularity, and respect, to those who have it.
Of course, they would be motivated if that was offered, and we realized that until recently those with money had freedom over what they wanted to do.
This is the concept of money as power even though in our minds money does not give happiness but money gives satisfaction and a sense of pride to most people in the world.
In this extraordinary world with advances in technology and information, no one doesn't want to have money because everyone wants to have money as a medium of exchange for goods and services to survive.
