That's the goal. But I can't reject the fact that I need to work. It's gotta happen. And I also don't want to be depressed all the time. My comment is kind of about learning how to keep doing what I need to do without being sad and or angry about it all the time.
I've always been envious of those people who grew up knowing what they wanted to do with their lives and then they did it. It seems like what we want is incongruent with what is available. It's like they were born into something that was designed for them, but I think at least part of it is parenting and education. Doesn't help that our world is kind of fucked up though. Hard to close my eyes to that and be excited about choosing a career. That and* we're kind of serfs.
