the toll for the bridge to paradise

To cross the bridge to paradise you must pay the toll.
to pay the toll, you must have money. 
To get the money, you must work all day.
To work all day is to have no time.
to have no time is to have no passion.
to have no passion is to have no joy. 
To cross the bridge to paradise, you must sell your time, passion, and joy.
but paradise is worth it, right?
