Doing the work you love is an evolving journey.

You make choices (mistakes), learn more about yourself through these mistakes, develop a deeper ability of inner reflection because of previous moments of hurt, start paying attention to moments of joy and flow and enrich your self-awareness about what you love doing and what you care about which allows you to make better choices progressively.

BUT

And there is a big BUT here.

We are not separate from the world and systems we live in.

Our ability to love our work is in relationship with the system our work is part of.

That makes things challenging because our systems are not always aligned with what we care about and what we define as "good."

That was the reason why I dropped out of a system: the corporate one. And probably you have considered doing that, too.

Reflecting more and more about that, I think dropping out does not also solve our problem- it might do individually- for the short term. But for continuous growth and expansion (even individually), we need better systems. And it is possible. These systems are already in place, maybe very small in numbers but they exist.

Having explored this topic I now say "A good (corporate) job is not Utopia!" I will share why I came to this conclusion in a seminar and we can talk about how we can realize it and benefit from it individually.
