At the end of the day, you are in control of your own happiness. Life is going to happen whether you overthink it, overstress it or not. Just experience life and be happy along the way. You can't control everything in your life, but you can control your happiness.

Monetizing your art, your spiritual talent, is not a sin. It requires a nuanced approach. You must have humility of expression ? recognize that you are just an instrument through which your art flows. And you must have a sharp understanding of commerce and your market/audience.
