Yeah, I think I'm scared of something. There's this idea of jobs that do and don't "make a living". I think I like the idea of some of the work in the latter category but it seems scary to pursue. I'll have to stew on that one.
What helped me a lot (and first let me wholeheartedly second what goobster said) was realizing, as cliche as it is, that I'm not my job. Because even though I understood that on some level intellectually, I hadn't really internalized it enough. So now, a lawyer is something I happen to be doing to get paid while I do what's really important. If someone asks me what I do, my first answer is that I teach kung fu, even though that's not something I devote 40 hours a week to (yet!). Because that's more what my life is focused on. In other words, you don't have to choose between your two types of jobs.
