I prefer the framing of "the intersection of things you enjoy doing, things you're good at, and things that other people find useful". There are unhappy failure modes if any of the above are missing. The high-flying corporate lawyer who's a miserable divorced alcoholic is what you get when you're good at something others find valuable that you don't enjoy. The underperformer who gets fired from every job they like is when you enjoy doing a job others find useful but aren't very good at it. The broke Millennial guitarist who followed their musical passions is what you get when you enjoy doing something you're good at but nobody else finds it useful.
If you follow your interests, though, it at least guarantees you'll be interested in what you're doing.
