I watched The Rookie a few weeks ago; a movie starring Dennis Quaid. In it, Dennis plays the role of a teacher who chose a career and a family over baseball. However, years later he has another shot at playing in the pros. I thought it was an excellent movie but there was a line that his father said to him that really stood out for me:
“It’s ok to think about what you want to do…until it’s time to start doing what you were meant to do.”
It really hit home inside of me because I find it too easy in life to always be wanting to do something or wanting to have something (the ‘keeping up with the jones’ mentality). But, in life I feel that everyone is meant to do something. For some, it takes longer than others to find out what that is but when you do, I truly feel that you should embrace your calling, be passionate about what you do and give it everything. What you will get back from doing what you love to do will amaze you and will truly enrich your life.
Just something to think about today.
Really think about what the quote means.
Let me know if it’s as powerful to you as it was to me.

Thanks for your comment Jason! Such a powerful quote and one that you can really use to drive your life I think.
I think as long as you're doing good work and surround yourself with good people then the financial side of it will come :)
It's certainly a great project from the sounds of it so best of luck with it!!
