This was my reasoning when I was younger. Now I think it's sometimes true but not always. Lots of people do sacrifice financial success for other passions, some of them regret it and some don't. And lots of people put passions on hold and then do return to them once they have financial independence or at least a stable career to return to, and they're very happy with that choice. Nothing wrong with having many goals, including a secure life financially. My youthful self didn't really need to fear losing my soul so much, basically :)
