"Do what you love, and the money will follow."
Maybe not.
But do what you love and the joy will continue.
This is a substitution into a cliche (reforming the cliche). Note that
"the money will follow" and "the joy will continue" have the same meter,
two amphibrachs.

I teach people how to be witty: How to give listeners insights they cannot forget in words they love to repeat. (Although, for actual income, I consult in High Performance Computing.) I intend to use this blog to record my researches and speculations concerning creativity (current theory: conceptual blending), rhetoric (the tropes involving conceptual blending), and humor (involving rhetoric).
