To you, the word ‘regret’ is still an abstract concept. If you don’t figure out that there are things in life you love more than work, you’ll learn about regret first hand.

Thinking about a spouse? Kids? Hell, friends? A dog? See how much they appreciate how inconsequential your choosing work instead of them is.

What are you here on earth to do?

John Calvin is dead and gone. So is the Bushido Code. Nobody is waiting around handing out big rewards for your personal sacrifice. And it is a sacrifice. What are you getting for it? Not what are you hoping to get, what are you actually getting? If that answer is enough for you, great, if it isn’t then you need to back up a bit. Those midlife crises can be a doozy.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but this is a very dangerous way of looking at it. You absolutely can burnout and overexhaust yourself doing something you love. People need to learn to take breaks and time off more than the other way around imo.

The vast majority do not love what they do at work. It's a luxary afforded to a few only.

Ah yes, if only there were 5 billion jobs available that exactly matched what people love to do.

Only thing is that it rarely happens (for many it may never even happen).
