How can one not enjoy fulfilling higher purpose?

Well, that can be said also for what you love doing. For example, "I love fishing, but I hate the smell," or "I love photography, but I hate researching for great landscapes..."

Don't you think that creativity and innovation can resolve that being 'a given?'

I find that people who do not like a job or part of a job, which is over all gratifying, is that creativity needs to be applied in order to make meaningful connections with that work, not as a ploy or psychological defense mechanism, but as an opportunity to appreciate a process through creativity.

What do you think?
