A short YouTube monologue in which the speaker reflects on being fortunate to have two passions—one that generates a comfortable income and another used for charitable giving. The speaker argues that few people can earn from their passions, lists examples (poet, songwriter, musician, artist, athlete), and advises that being passionate about a business that earns income is a key to a fulfilled life alongside health and relationships.

I've been so fortunate in life. I've been blessed because I've had two passions in life that on one, I've been able to earn a great income from and lifestyle. And the other, I've been able to fulfill my other passion, and that is be charitable and give money away and help organizations, charities not for profits. In life, very few people are blessed that they can earn income from their passions. For example, it's very difficult to make an income as a poet, as a songwriter, as a musician, as an artist, as a chess player. Okay, As a golfer, as an athlete. Very difficult. Those passions become your hobbies. You're so passionate about it. I would say a key to life would be, and I'm not just going to say, work out every day, eat healthy, make sure you focus on sleep, have a lot of friends and find someone you could love and give your love to and be and have that reciprocated. But I do believe that if you can be passionate about a business and earn income from it, you've made it, you have it all. That's all there is in life.
