LOVE, MONEY OR SOMETHING ELSE?

Every time about this year Im approached by several people, companies asking me to sell them a property. For those who are new to the industry a property is what we hollywierdos ( thats what  I call everyone in this business- including myself) call a script.  All my friends tell me I get attached  to my works and don't want to let them go- which is not the case.  I feel If  create something, and  put my  heart, soul, sweat, tears into  I have earned the right to say what i want to do with it.  I write plays, screen plays for the world to see - however, pay me accordingly. Is that asking to much? I didn't get  into this business for the money-- I was raised by a middle class working family whereas every penny counted, so money has never been an issue with my works-- most of my friends will tell you - I could/should have been a millionaire 3 times by now - but choose to turn down various offers- that most people   would have jumped out of a window for. We all have a purpose in this world. Not until a year ago - I was lost-- had no clue what I was here on earth to do. And then one day it came to me-- JUST LIKE THAT - BAM! I understood, and I knew right at that very moment - why God place me  here - I knew my purpose of living -- my purpose of life. But you ask Layon, what does this have to do with people wanting to pay you for your work? Don't misunderstand-- I love money, I love the fact that  someone are people are willing to pay  for my works. That in itself is  a blessing-- however- I know my worth -- and I cant sell out my integrity for a few pennies. What do you think?
