I just came across this advice from Walt Disney: "find a job that you like so much that you'd do it without compensation; then do it so well that people will pay you to continue."
Gosh, how this resonates with my life -- scientist, mother, and now writer.
I needed to hear Disney's words as I revise.

This is what I tell my kids--to find a job that they love and to not settle for anything less. That's why I'm so determined to get a book published--I want to show to my kids that I live by these words myself.
What wise advice! Easier said than done, though, but still something to keep in mind.
Yes, I hope we can show with our actions what we mean. Thank you for stopping by, Angela and Stella.
Vijaya, I think anyone lucky enough to find something they want to do and get paid for it is already one step ahead of the rest. That is why, after I retired from paying jobs, I am trying my hand writing for children and YA, something I have always dreamed of doing. Sounds like you have already found several areas that you love and are successful in. What a talented person you are. I'll share with you what I have on my pc, to remind me when I write:
Life is short. Dare to dream and never give up on your dreams.
Happy dreaming to us all.
