The key insight from the previous lesson can be distilled to the simple idea of preserving your love so that:

1. you can do what you love without the need for any financial validation.
2. you can protect your love from being endangered in favor of money.

Even in a society where nearly every activity has been monetized, this is to be kept in mind, even if you want to make it big in terms of the money made. Below are a couple scenarios that illustrate the point.

• Maybe you dream a lifestyle that involves travel, writing, and polo. The wiser option is to first seek your financial freedom for doing them instead of financial validation in doing them. 
• Maybe you love to drive fast cars. While becoming a limo driver can help pay the bills, you risk endangering your love for cars. 

In either of the above cases, the ideal thing to do is to answer the two questions of money and love separately, as opposed to marrying them together in a mutual mediocrity partnership.
