This is a really special post and it touches on everything I really believe in. I was taught at a young age to do things I am passionate about, and not to do things that will mindlessly make a dollar. I was taught that if you stick to what you are passionate about, the money will come in time. I later realized that the saying "if you love what you do, you never work day in your life" was absolutely true!
I am passionate about health and wellness and I knew I wanted to pursue it, not because it made millions (it does not haha) but because I truly enjoyed it. I knew that If I truly loved my work, people would see and feel the love that I put into it. I wasn't worried about the monetary compensation, I just had a feeling that one day the money part would work out.
At first it was hard (I was actually making nothing at all) but I didn't give up and the passion I felt for health and wellness is still there, stronger than ever. It took a while but continuing in this line of work has finally paid off! I know don't have to worry about paying my bills and I am fortunate enough to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth!
I love this post because I think so many people can learn from it! It isn't about what makes you a dollar (that is a short term way of thinking and you will never feel fulfilled), it is about what puts a smile on your face. It is about doing something that doesn't feel like work at all...something you look forward to doing!
Being passionate about what you do makes the community, whether it is Steemit or a different community, a better place.
Truly an inspiring post!
Thankyou and thanks for being you!
Sadly, the money is in illness, not health.. There's no money in healthy people, there's no money in dead people - the money is right in the middle between them. I think, frankly, that says something about money.
All that being said, if you are an able educator that provides a proven service that results in people getting genuinely healthier, it is absolutely possible to become 'steeenking reech'. lol

That is my only goal! To make sure everyone lives their life as the happiest, healthiest person they can be!
Excellent - then you are absolutely a white blood cell in the body of humanity :)
And of course I voted for you to become a Witness! Not really sure what that means though haha I am new to Steemit and I am still learning the ropes, but I do know it is a good thing to be a Witness (I think) and people like yourself that have amazing things to talk about need to be all over this platform! :)
