In a survey conducted many years ago, 1,500 people were asked that very same question and were then separated in 2 different categories based on their feedback. Category A believed that money was their priority and would consider doing what they want to do later. 1,245 people went into that group. Category B, made up of 255 people preferred going after their passion and trust that money would follow subsequently.
What do you think happened to both groups 20 years later?
Out of 1,500 people in the whole group, 101 of them became millionaires. Only one came from Category A. The remaining 100 of the millionaires all came from Category B.
Category B!
That was the group which had decided they would pursue their passion first with money coming in later. That was the same group which delayed their gratification, knowing that their strong faith and love for what they were doing would manifest its true potential. That was probably the same group which was sniggered at by their friends for their seemingly lofty yet unpractical dreams.
And yes, that was also the group I would have chosen to be in.
What about you? Which would you select?
