The sad part about humans is that we think that we have to stay in jobs we don't like doing things we don't want to do for decades because that's what work is and that's why people have like an anti work, anti hustle culture. But man, if you find a thing you love to do. I am annoyed when somebody interrupts my flow state of work. I am grumpy, I don't like it and I'd much rather be obsessing on the things I want to do at work than doing 97% of things in life. I've been through probably seven or eight different careers because each time it wasn't there, it wasn't right. Doesn't mean every day is fun. There's many miserable days. But it does mean that you can lose track of time in it just as easily as you can run a meditation. And I tend to think that every person has that. It's just tough to find what it is.
