Obviously it's much easier to say that you're going to follow your passions when you're financially secure, but at least we can take solace in the fact that we now have the time to pursue the things that we really want to pursue because now the option of doing things just for the money isn't necessarily there.

First Corinthians so clearly says that whether we eat or drink, do it all to the glory of God. It's not just self. Jesus said ... in Matthew 16, 'Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me.'

And they're certainly not following the biblical Jesus. They're following whatever brings happiness and contentment.

That has been my philosophy through life. I want to share that valuable lesson with my little girl someday.
