I could fill ten lifetimes with all the things I want to do other than work. The world is so interesting and there are so many joyous activities I'd like to master, music I want to really hear, books I want to take the time to read and understand properly, history I want to see then ruins of, cultures I'd like to experience, artistic works I want to create. I struggle to keep all these distractions at bay in order to be capable of keeping my job.

I don't want to discourage anyone who loves working and loves their job, but I also wouldn't want anyone to look back on their life and see an emptiness of the richness the world has to offer.

I see my work is an enabler of life experience, but I'm also aware others see their work as the meaning of their lives. Make sure you're happy with wherever you fit on the scale (which it sounds like you are, but maybe look a bit harder at things outside of golf, gardening and grey-haired tourism).
