I recall Anthony Robbins saying the way to measure your success is evaluating 4 things:

Physical, Financial, Emotional, Spiritual.

Many people choose a "career" (or just go to work) purely for financial reasons. They choose to trade time for money (as SP would often say). These people are also unhealthy with physical & health problems.

On the flip side, I coach Track & Field, and only tiny fraction end up making over 6 figures a year from performances and sponsors. But they love what they are doing, and when it's pouring rain, they still show up for practice. These guys are super fit, 6-pack abs, but don't make a dime from their sport.

Do what you love!
