Thank you for again some beautiful writing.

As I try to relate, my only struggle is that my professional work as software engineer, which is necessary to sustain our family life in Paris that we love, feels more like something I have to do rather than something flowing from my heart and core. I try sometimes to work with my heart, but at the end of the day, I would not do that job if there were no paychecks as incentive.

I guess this is not a tension to resolve but rather a paradox to feel and embrace. My creating software is a way to love my colleagues and customers, but also my wife, children and friends who are nourished by the life I can create through these paychecks.
