I get rich doing what I love.

The best thing that happens when a loved thing starts paying is not the money. It is Tuesday afternoon — spent on the thing, in daylight, without needing to justify it and without stealing the hours from sleep or from somebody who wanted your attention.

Getting paid is what converts a hobby into a legitimate use of a weekday. Some find the paying changes the loving and some find it doesn't, which is worth watching either way. But the permission is real, and it tends to arrive first.
