Charles Bukowsky expressed it multiple times in his work, there is a particular poem about becoming a writer, but can be adapted to any other endeavour. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/652205-so-you-want-to-be-a-...:

A segment:

if it doesn't come bursting out of you

in spite of everything,

don't do it.

unless it comes unasked out of your

heart and your mind and your mouth

and your gut,

don't do it.

An easy thing to say when you're young and have familial wealth to fall back on or some other means of support while try to find some calling or whatever. I never found something I like doing that people will pay me money for, so I ended up doing the pragmatic thing and finding the job I have to put the least amount of effort into for a reasonable amount of money. I'm kinda sick of entitled people talk about finding your passion and similar advice like this.
