You might find your passion in a well-paying profession. But unless you’re producing something that the world really needs, you may not feel like your work has much meaning. You can have a vocation that pays well. But if you have no interest in the field, then the work can be torturous. You might succeed in discovering your mission, and you may indeed have a passion for it. But perhaps you’re just not very good at it. Thus, you might forever be stumbling in your career—never really feeling like you’re “getting it.”
