She is candid about the price, roughly a million dollars in opportunity cost, a thin bank account and a delayed house, and about the realization that steadied her: your net worth is not your life's worth. She makes the case that dreams which never earn a dollar can still return more than a balance sheet can show. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://tinybuddha.com/blog/value-following-dreams-dont-make-money/ Quotes to ponder: "Your net worth is not your life's worth." "In this way, the return on investment from following your dreams is infinite, larger than you can ever quantify or know while you are in human form." "I know that one day, when I am old and dying, I won't regret the things I never had, but I will regret the moments I didn't seize and the adventures and growth I never experienced."
