I think problem number one is that most people don't start out knowing what they love. They *think* a job at such-and-such will give them daily happiness. Or they *think* becoming rich or famous will prevent them from ever being sad, lonely, or ill. Then they either pine away for the thing they *think* will fix everything... or some do achieve the goal to find it didn't satisfy them after all.
My point is that without really knowing what it is that will make you satisfied, you may always yearn to do what you love... and then one day get there and be shocked it wasn't as fun as you thought it would be. Sometimes we need to try on a few different careers or lifestyles to find one that fits us.
Love and happiness come from within. A person can work as a garbageman and still be happy, like his job, and enjoy life. I personally know some people who are very wealthy (multimillionaires), and they pace around unsettled. No matter what they buy, they still feel empty & unsettled.
