How to Balance Meaning Making Activities With Work Requirements

I have to ask myself almost every day to come back to the shadow side and my probable Stockholm syndrome. I hang out with people like you Brian or many other people in our friend group who take seriously their meaning making activities over practicalities of making a living. Being part of that group has definitely made me realize how much I am playing it safe by staying in well-paid jobs  that I tell myself give me meaning. The riskier thing would be much more interesting and have much more potential upside which is to do something like go down to a part-time work week, he says.
