We have been taught that we must work to earn (make) a living. That we must sacrifice our energy and time doing what we really don’t want to do, to earn MONEY so that when we get some time off work, we can “maybe”, enjoy a little of what we really desire to do. This is, as I like to say, backasswards.
How sad is it that the first question that came to mind after I read your quote was: “but how can I earn money through making life a creative and artistic event?”
