An idea is not a design,
but it is an invitation to a journey.A design is not a prototype,
but it is a plan for moving forward.A prototype is not a program,
but it is a test for your assumptions.A program is not a product,
but it is a milestone towards progress.A product is not a business,
but it is the first fruit of an idea.A business is not profits,
but it is a team behind your back.Profits is not an exit,
but it is validation of your work.And an exit is not happiness,
but happiness is not a destination.Happiness is a journey.

Thanks to Liz for prompting me to consider how I might turn this around.
But when you love what you do money begins to matter a whole lot less. Yes, you still need it to live, but it’s no longer your source of happiness — your source of happiness and your purpose is your work. Money driven people cannot see art for what it is because they never make it
Another great post by Dmitry Fadeyev.
