    If you’re good at something, even if you don’t enjoy it, it might still make a good career. You don’t have to love what makes you money, just not hate it. If you’re good enough, you end up with a lot more free time for yourself. Doing what you love can also cause you to hate doing it as a hobby eventually. People don’t “love” their jobs. You don’t see them paying to do their job like they do for tennis lessons or sports events. You probably just tolerate your job, and that’s ok. Your life isn’t ruined.

    This so many times over.

    I spent years trying to get a job I loved.

    Ended up getting a different job that I was kinda good at.

    Turns out, being good at a job every day makes you feel good at the end of the day.
