Wherever fate leads us, we can resolve to living passionately, even if in mediocrity and triviality. By doing so, regardless of whether we achieve some great results, we are already living a great life, because "living " is the only thing that matters.
If great results do come, such as wealth, success, health, fame, social status..., they are the incidental results, not the purpose, because the purpose is already achieved along life's journey, that is, living passionately.
