>>16579816>do people consider the endgame for their hobbies, or do they just fill the slot of „something to do“ in their heads?I can only speak for myself, but I've been a much happier person ever since I stopped doing this. my job is where I worry about deadlines, profit, and numbers, my hobbies are where I'm free from that burden. assuming you didn't set out on this only to make money, you should only stop doing it if you really don't enjoy it anymore.
>I meant it in a sense that sometimes you see people chasing dreams that are simply not going to happen, because they lack the necessary skills or qualities. Surely in those cases it’s worth telling them to apply themselves somewhere they can actually make an impact.If your dreams are to create some global impact... they probably won't happen. You'll still impact the lives of a few, though, which you shouldn't discount.

>When someone’s good at their hobbies, they often end up turning them into careers. I did this with my main hobby and now I barely ever do projects in [hobby] for fun anymore, because I work on other people's projects for 8 hours a day 5 days a week. just keep in mind that once your hobby becomes a job, it's a job. I've explicitly avoided chasing profit in this hobby because it's fun and I want it to stay fun, but admittedly it's because i'm in a good financial situation where I can afford that.
