What's the one thing you love doing without intention of making money out of it?

I have generally seen this either in reel / film life or real life, where people who love what they do, tend to be -

  1. Much more happier / satisfied everyday
  2. They give way more of themselves into the task not because someone demands it, but because they want to, they enjoy it
  3. They constantly improve and be better at this thing
  4. They aren't in it for the money. They don't do things or learn more or put more hours because it's paying them, they do it because of the love for the thing. Money is just an add-on

Do you guys have anything like this in life which you enjoy doing so much and can do it without thinking about the money you'd get. This thing shouldn't be something you consume, but something you produce, even if it helps 1 person out, still counts!

Eg. You do coding, learn new things in it, not because it pays you, but because it's what you love doing. You'd probably still keep doing it even if it doesn't pay you anything

Teaching history? Anything in particular?

History is weird. I don't know shit about Indian history but at the same time I know every single Greek myth out there.

I'm passionate about personal finance. So I took agency for some financial instruments like NPS, insurance etc. I have a 8 digit investment portfolio + real estate but helping others in personal finance makes me contend.

That's nice!
Helping others how?

What's your age when you made your portfolio 8 figures? I am assuming 8 figures is 1 - 10 Crores, right?

Something that gives me happiness and peace. I am doing nothing compared to other folks who are working tirelessly for animal welfare and protecting.

Doesn't count. It's entirely consuming and doesn't help a single person out there

Yeah it does. Helps Zomato/Swiggy to employ people. And it doesn't consume me, I do it.

Memes. Anytime one would go viral I would be so happy. Definitely kept me motivated to do even better the next time.

Ah, nice answer. Question - it didn't go viral consistently, would you end up not loving it?

SparklyWalrus

Interesting question. No I was always motivated to do better. I guess I really loved it.

I don't know anymore. I have been numbed out by life. I guess I'll open a garden cafe. You get a free chai if you post a picture of you hugging a plant.

Does that make you happy? Is that something that you are passionate about?

I don't think I'm passionate about anything. I just like being able to afford a meal with friends & family. Able to fulfill my needs. Buy things that I like.

Get to solve interesting challenging problems daily/weekly. Making Strategic steps. That takes you through stress, experimentation, depression, frustration, ...and sometimes eventually goosebumps. Self proud moments. I love brain mas*****ation.

About two years ago, I designed a solution to solve traffic problems in the city. But I could fight against governmental conventional procedures.

Recently, a few days ago, I devised a tactic to increase Amazon sales during checkout to get free delivery. I think to save Rs. 83 delivery charge on purchase of Rs.387, if I could buy Rs. 113 gift card to be eligible for free delivery, as of total purchase of Rs 500.

Last year, I found what my calling is and am working on that for rest. Look around for any resources/jugad, to build it. Though I had, three other quick rich startup schemes as usually happens in the process, I am not distracted by thems anymore.
