This quote really struck me- and it came from the most obscure place; too. I plucked it from a game walk through I had been watching on YouTube. It was a quote in a very psychological game, and I figured I could try and elaborate on it a bit. Now, the first thing that crossed my mind while reading this was my dad and his work.
My dad is a stock analyst who works from home. For as long as I can remember, he's always been around. Things can grow tough at times; but at the end of the day he gets to watch me and my sister grow up and he is always there to support and help us- and that's what he values above all else. However, with his recent job... He's been having less and less time, it seems. My dad has always been happy with what he does. One of the most important things to him (besides me and my sister) is happiness; particularly when it comes to a job you could be working at for the rest of your life. Due to this factor, my dad had run his own business for a long time. It's only recently that he's begun working for someone else again- and while he can work from home and earns enough; he doesn't seem as happy as he once was. Sure, he enjoys the work... But he has so much of it that it can't possibly stay entertaining. I personally am a person who has to constantly be doing something. I get bored very easily, especially of repetition. I can only imagine that my dad is the same. To get back to the quote- I want to just dedicate this post to my dad solely. Go back to owning your own work, dad... It may take time and you might have to put up with this job a while longer but at the end of the day; it is better to own your work than allow it to own you. And I believe you've fallen into a slump of letting your workload (and the company you work for, for that matter) control you away from true happiness. Maybe this is the cause for the state of grey. -- Maddie

I think I know what game you're talking about. I've seen this quote in a game called "The Beginner's Guide", from a Jacksepticeye video and the quote did stuck with me as well.
