In this episode of Monday Break(Through), I reflect on a simple yet powerful question that hit me out of nowhere during lunch the other day: Am I in this for love, or am I in it for money? As creatives, we all navigate that balance between passion and practicality, but what happens when one takes over completely? Can creativity survive if it’s only about the paycheck? And if it’s fueled purely by love, will the money eventually come?

I dive into this cliché—but undeniable truth—that loving what you do is what makes the work meaningful. And when that love is real, when you wake up excited to create, the money will follow. But if it’s all about the money, with no heart, no obsession, no soul—then maybe it’s time to rethink the path. Tune in for this quick hit of creative clarity to start your week with purpose.
