Re-starting my long lost passion

Perhaps this is a convenient time for me to re-initiate my passion. I have only 2 things in my life that i am proud of; first is my skill in web-programming and the second one is my artworks. anyway after living long enough until now, it looks like i'm just one of those losers that i have succeeded in wasting the god-given-only-skills. This is perhaps because i'm allowing myself to attend to useless office-work-related activities, which in the end makes no difference to my overall career development. Enough of those thoughts, lets focus on something very benefiting me in a long-run, where i intend to make my passion as my source of passive income.

I think as a start, lets start off with my web-programming. I've been living in my dreams since i was young that i am able to make something financially good to me from my knowledge & passion in web-programming. The last project i have done was on internet marketing website where at the end i don't really see any improvement at all. maybe it was the fact that i solely depended on MLM-based product and none of which belongs to me. So this time i want to create my own product and wish it won't be same as before. It would be my own product + my web marketing tool and most importantly my own revenue-generating system. I think I will start off my small project this month Feb 2012. meanwhile while waiting for me to be ready with the knowledge, lets go through again on the wordpress plugins knowlegde.
