I guess what I would say is I have a immense amount of respect for someone who adopts that mindset, the one you described, especially if they're really thriving in something that they may not perceive to be an occupation.
That could be a religious community.
It could be volunteer work that they do.
I would highlight to them there might be a career in that, you know, like if they wanted to be around it all the time.
But my main goal isn't to tell those people they aren't being successful.
Like if they're happy and passionate about that lifestyle, like that's great.
I'm not casting any shadow on that whatsoever.
If you are the type of person that is either ungrateful
unhappy with your work like so much so that it's impacting your quality of life or even better if you're someone that has this inkling this little notion in their brain but maybe doesn't have the confidence or the permission they don't feel like they have the permission to go do it that's who i want to read my book like that's who i really really want to read my book um

There's a couple of these, actually, but I'll choose the Steve Harvey one.
I don't know if you've seen this, but you know who Steve Harvey is, the comedian who does the Family Feud now?
Yep.
He tells this story, I think he told it on Oprah, that when he was seven, the teacher asked them as an exercise to write down on a sheet of paper what they wanted to be when they grew up.
And he claims he got called last.
