Within my current situation I live comfortably enough, but my situation is far from ideal (if I really kick in my standards, it's downright unacceptable and extremely hindering my effectiveness). The catch 22 is that to get out of it, I need resources, and to get resources, I need to (ideally) do what I love, but doing what I love will only pay off in the long term. (But perhaps that's part of my issue--perhaps if it doesn't pay off now, while the message may be good, the medium isn't useful to me. But that seems a little too restrictive to be useful.)

Some people say "you're here to shine." If you look closely, you realise you shine already.
