If Rob Lowe shows up and offers to buy your beloved local access TV show, don't sell

More to the point: "All we see is the result, not what it took to get there. It emphasizes the outcome, not the process."

And so to keep going requires building a sort of confidence to keep trusting the process, as well.

I think you should work for the process, the outcome will figure itself out. But yes, you must trust the process. By focusing on it you can build a stack of proof by small outcomes or wins along the way.

This is a great question / paradox to think about. I think many of us feel bad that we aren't doing what we necessarily are called or love to do...I mean, I had my whole life planned out as a kid..I was going to play professional basketball.

Well, I am certainly not doing that now 😂

So, I have sided more with your #2 option in that I look at my occupation as providing for my family, and that's okay...it's okay because I can pursue what I love outside of work (it doesn't HAVE to be one and the same).

Completely agree, it doesn’t have to be your whole life. Your 9-5 can support your passion.
