You have your vocation, and you have your avocation
You will hear many people saying “Follow your passion”, “Follow your heart”, or something along those lines. This is a lazy platitude and can get you into trouble (or worse, broke). Your passion does not pay the bills. Your zeal for watercolors, or cupcakes, or specially-fermented foods is highly unlikely to turn into a skill that you can use to support your lifestyle and retirement.
By all means, pursue them. You should maximize the time you spend in life doing things that bring you joy. But while doing so, be sure to have a skill that can reliably pay the bills. If you find that your passions actually have legitimate, life-supporting, revenue-generating potential, ask yourself if you actually want that. Do you want to *have* to make another batch of smoked peppercorn kimchi? Do you want to have three more custom paintings of dogs that look like their owners juggling on unicycles? You may be surprised how much your “passion” dwindles when it’s tied directly to your mortgage payments.
Keep your passions exactly that - passions. Something you do for the love of it. Enjoy its purity, its absolute disconnection from your need to put a roof over your head. That way, every second spent on the activity is pure joy with no expectations.
