Work is just one lens of purpose, and if things start going wrong and you've only got one thing, work, and things don't go the way that you want them to, they're not running as smoothly, it's very hard for you then to come back and say, "Hey, I'm still doing well in life," if you've just got things in one bucket of work. So that's why it should align with what I want to do in life and it should align with my values, but it's not my reason for being, if that makes sense.
