#10 Why don't we do what we love?

First off, a little about me. I plan on pursuing a career in Graphic Design and I love drawing even though I haven't been doing it long. 

This sad attempt at colored pencil was my first use of them since I was a child at school, after watching a few videos I followed it up with. 

This reasoning makes me believe that the skill is there and that is it a career I hope to pursue successfully.  

Oddly though I run into a problem where I am spending very little time drawing anything lately. I'm hoping this has to do with the unfortunate fact that I have no art classes this semester and my self derived inspiration to draw is lacking. I love to draw, I just find myself spending my time playing games, hanging out with friends and the girlfriend or unfortunately doing homework. I hope I'm not the only one who is running into this issue with their career of choice. 

Why is it we seem to put off the things that can benefit us/we enjoy the most in life? is there a fear to fail at the things we love? Has anyone else run into this with their hobbies or career of choice? 

Below I decided to include two my first charcoal drawings done off pictures just because I'm proud of them and I can!
