Whatever you are doing even if it is under pressure for a job. If you can make yourself feel the enjoyment of the process and progress. You will in the end start enjoying it.
So don’t worry about what others are saying or doing, you feel the enjoyment. And cut the crap of doing what you want, what you like, because those are whimsical and will change a dime a dozen.
The best way is to enjoy what you are doing and live happily.
