This "hit my inbox" today and seems to have so much in common with SVS philosophy that I thought I'd share it.

Here's another approach I like... this one is more about avoiding
work than enjoying it:

How to Drop Out, by Ran Prieur
http://ranprieur.com/essays/dropout.html

An excerpt:
<< "Do what you love and the money will follow" is an irresponsible
lie, a denial of the deep opposition between money and love. The real
rule is: "If you're doing what you love, you won't care if you never
make a cent from it, because that's what love means -- but you still
need money!" So what I recommend, as the second element of dropping
out, is coldly severing your love from your income. One part of your
life is to make only as much money as you need, at a job that you can
come home from feeling energized and not drained. And then the
important part of your life is to do just exactly what you love, with
zero pressure to make money. And if you're lucky, you'll eventually
make money anyway. >>
