It depends on the person, their stage in life, and many other factors why people do what they do.

I went through something similar. I had to choose between chasing my passion or security. I chose security. Things get real when you get older, your body starts falling apart, you need to provide for family, etc.

Even if you choose to follow your passions, the lure of security will come. The author gives an example of writers needing to write pulp novels, courses, copywriting, or any other boring stuff.

And even if you do end up doing your passions and still live comfortably, is it really worth it? Would your passions become monotonous and cause you to seek other passions?
