Amen! People who do "what the world needs" tend to become focused on the monetary aspect of whatever they're doing, and when the revenue dries up, they move on to something else. There's something to be said for that pragmatic approach, but it tends to shrivel the soul a bit if it's not balanced with a healthy dose of doing what makes you feel alive.
If I just did my day job and didn't engage in hooping, writing, beading, etc., I would be miserable and dull. My day job is not that exciting; it's the creative stuff that keeps me alive. :)
