Observation

Very few people have work that they 'were born to do'. Some have work that, as it happens, they 'were born with the ability to do well'. But a built in 'this is what you were meant to do', as many on-line 'career coaches' like to say? Ah ... no. There is no Meant except, perhaps, for dynastic royalty. People are multipurpose tools that can turn their hands equally well to many things. Some better than others, sure. Compellingly better, no.

Also: Not all work has to be personally fulfilling. Not even most. If it is, good, but that's lagniappe, nothing more.
