Did this article Steve wrote make people think?

It really struck me and re-think about my career and finances.

I have a career that I absolutely love and I will be will off financially following this career (pilot) but I also run a part time network marketing business to increase my wealth but I am doing this business not because I love or enjoy doing it..

Before reading this article I thought sure why not build wealth using network marketing, I don't really enjoy doing it and I get tired being on the phones all the time but in the long run I will have more money.... Being passionate about personal development it seemed increasing wealth is an important aspect of personal development

But now I am rethinking it all

Before my thought process was

extra work to earn extra money on the side = increase wealth = increase happiness and have a better life and more freedom

Now I am rethinking this

doing something you don't enjoy to improve wealth = deteriorating your spirit and health = not worth it

This article is really making me think. I'm starting to believe increasing wealth is only worth it if you really enjoy the journey.
