Correct me if wrong, So you get a level of satisfaction & fulfilment from the rewards of your personal sacrifices,
that might not otherwise be attained but just by having and following some idealistic passion


You got it.

Grateful to be able to provide for my family and even tho I'm not excited about the work I do I am proud to do excellent work.

My idealistic passion at the time could not have supported my family and me.
