The vast majority of people work solely for the purpose of making money to support their lifestyle. Unfortunately, this often leads to choosing occupations that do not provide much in the way of personal fulfillment. When you do not get any type of personal fulfillment from your work, going to work becomes a chore that you avoid whenever possible.

You will wake up each morning and look forward to going to work, and ultimately will devote more of your energy to your occupation. For most people, the narrative is you need to work hard for your economic survival and you are grateful just to have a job.
