10% Happier with Dan Harris

NOTE

The Risk of Making Your Job Your Sole Source of Identity

"Some people do what they love for work and others do what they have to for work so they can do what they love when they're not working." This is what poet Anis Mojgani said when asked about the mantra "do what you love and never work a day in your life." It's okay to have a day job and pursue your passion outside of work. Many people work to survive, not self-actualize. Privilege and luck play a role in finding a job you love. Not finding a job where you can do what you love is not a character flaw or moral shortcoming."
