But, then there is the flipside of the coin.
Don't make a living doing what you love, cause then when you want to do it in your free time, you will come to hate it.
I can see both aspects being true.

'Work' and 'play' can be totally different occupations - in fact, there's no limit to the number of things you can be interested in.
I think this speaks about one's approach to life; it's about finding 'magic' in all of life's tasks and situations, whether simple or overwhelming. It's about allowing the present to be new, and to be celebrated.
