That really spoke to me. Over the years I've run into many people, one in particular who had given up on her dreams and took a job where she's worked for 27 years in misery. She traded fulfillment for what she thought was "security." And although I understood her position, she was very unsupportive of mine. I learned a long time ago there's no such thing as security. And as the saying goes, "misery loves company." Thank you for saying it out loud!!! Listen to advice, but don’t be dissuaded by it!!! That really spoke to me.

As a multiple streams entrepreneur I'm frequently faced with that decision. Holding onto a passionless stream is playing small and does not serve me well.

If we are not acting on a passion, then it cannot be considered to be a true passion. For example, my passion is creativity and innovation. that's why I subscribe to your enewsletter, Google alerts, network of like-minded people , etc. We have to talk and breathe our passion every day otherwise there is no substance to our claim on our passion.

Great counterpoint set of factors to consider. Well worth pointing out. Dreams and reality checks? Great counterpoint set of factors to consider. Well worth pointing out.
