Absolutely spot on.

I fell into my career when I realized my passions were out of wack and I needed to provide for my family.

I've found that an attitude of gratitude for being able to do that AND THEN SOME has kept me in a line of work I'm not very passionate about at all. Gratitude motivates me to do what isn't all that exciting to me to the best of my ability more or less.

And that's the core of why so many want to follow their passion and are crushed when the world doesn't present itself on a silver platter. They feel entitled.
