I love your About pic. Cute. I think you have good points. But. There is a bunch of people who do multiple things, they ride bikes for money and they code sites for money. Or they write for blogs and sell art on etsy or in galleries. Those fun people like to call themselves Multipotentials and I think I'm one of them. I paint, I illustrate a bit, I code websites. I'm not JUST a web designer. I've always wanted to do creative things and get paid for it. I'm not sure if I know anyone who has just one passion. I think that those posts about "making it happen" based on passion touch broad spectrum of topics. My passion is to create and I'm making it happen. I'm supporting myself, so i'm calling it a success. I would not make it happen just my painting. Not yet. I hope to, at some point. Maybe, it's not about the passion, but about the "energy' behind all the passions that one is using for making money. There is this fun blog : Puttylike : http://puttylike.com/ and I haven't visit Emily for quite a while, but she is talking about it a lot. Doing many thing-S and making it happen. Also, Barbara Sher writes about it. Once I've decided to embrace multiple interest and found a common denominator, I felt relieved. I have a basket of skills/likes and they are my forte. All of them. Sometimes I get lost within certain group, but knowing that I DON'T have to choose one and based my work-life on it serve me well. Hope it helps. Thank you for this post! ::Marta Hi Alix.

Maybe, it’s not about the passion, but about the “energy’ behind all the passions that one is using for making money.

And this is something that's been on my mind a lot lately. When I quit my dayjob, the Big Plan was to focus my energy on growing my crafty business, but the more I grew, the more I felt unfulfilled. I think it's like what you said about riding bikes. I don't see anything wrong with trying things, shifting gears, or even with failing. The meme you're talking about worries me, too, and I think social media plays a big part in it. Not many folks are Facebooking about our doubts and failures, and it makes it seem like everyone but you has it all figured out. Not YOU you, but the universal you. :) I am 1000% with you!
