As the saying goes: “do what you love and you’ll never work a day of your life.” I take issue with this approach to work because I think it oversimplifies things and encourages people to take on selfish pursuits only to find that nobody will pay them for doing so. I recently posted an article on my Facebook (http://qz.com/698943/whatever-you-do-dont-quit-your-job-to-pursue-your-passion/) that countered this narrative. Here, I’m going to clarify my position and tell you why I think the better piece of advice is to find happiness in service, whether you pursue your passion full-time or not.
