It’s not saying do the vocation you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. It’s saying focus on your hobbies and your family and the things that aren’t your job and your job will seem more like a means to an end.
I know a guy who is an accountant, he’s a very good accountant, he fucking hates accounting, seriously fucking hates it, but it lets him and his spouse travel and do the things that they want to do so he does it anyway. Because it’s not about being an accountant it’s about the things that he’s able to do with the money.
