The why behind the what

Here are some thoughts I had this morning and wanted to share!

My dream is not to build and grow a business.

My dream is to stay creative until the day I die. This is my WHY behind everything I do.

I don't create products to become an entrepreneur or a millionaire.

I create them because I love the process of inventing new solutions and solving complex problems.

I don't create educational UX content to build a community and sell products.

I create it because I love teaching and sharing my passion about design. I love empowering other people with my knowledge.

Creativity is what drives me and makes me show up every morning. That's the only reason that I don't quit when everything "goes wrong".

Money is just the outcome of a good sustainable strategy combined with something you love.

Money is the energy that keeps you moving and they are beautiful when used properly!

I used to hate money but when I changed my perspective I started loving them. They are neither good or bad. They are what you choose them to be.

Finally creativity doesn't only mean having a creative job.

My dream as I said is to stay creative. If I become successful and make lots of money one thing I would do is to buy more time for myself and get into arts without having to commercialise them. I would focus on creating beautiful thing and expressing emotions using music, painting, technology and so on. I kind of already doing by investing time and money into learning and playing guitar.

What about you? What is the main thing that drives you in what you do? :)
