The economy has definitely scared a lot of people from feeling like they have the freedom to pursue their passions. It's unfortunate, and I hope the situation turns around real soon. The foundations and systems for cashing in on our passions are being laid in the meantime through what's happening with the Internet and other areas of life! Best of luck to you!

I'm trying to change that but its very slow going because of the economy. I do have a passion but I tend to treat it as more of a hobby (that's where the fear comes in). I'm afraid that my hobby wont bring in enough income for me to sustain my current lifestyle, even though I'm cutting back on a lot of things.

I'm wired to be of service. I could not work in a for-profit company (unless it was a for-profit venture whose sole purpose was to provide wages to folks in need and the vast majority of profits were reinvested into the community. Before anyone has a fit, you can for-profit your little heart out. To each their own). So, I work because I believe I am here on this spinning blue ball to do all I can to help my brothers and sisters in this global human family; and 2. I work because I haven't found a way to live outside of our mainstream, cash-oriented culture. I know others have done it, but I'm not too keen on how they have gone about it. Regardless, I will always do some kind of work in the "helping" profession, but I don't expect to always get paid for it. I will likely continue working after retirement, but I look forward to the day when I've found a way to not "need" to accept payment for my work. .-= ConsciouslyFrugal´s last post: <a href="http://consciouslyfrugal.blogspot.com/2010/02/our-winner-good-news-for-all-who.html" rel="nofollow">Our Winner & Good News for All Who Entered!</a> =-.
