That's similar to my experience. I've reached a point where I need to feel motivated to work, but not for it to be such a chore that sucks my entire life down with it. I know also that not everyone has this luxury.

With work comes people, and with that comes experiences that can be both good and bad - even if the job scope seems to be ideal. So, while I live to work, I also give a reality check and concede that there are times when I need to work unpleasantly to live.
