Try it. Been there—after a short while you'll see that, in fact, you hate doing these things. It makes you feel sick, and nobody likes feeling sick. You'll learn that you actually like doing things that do good for you (it's not always obvious).

Regarding the article, didn't really like it as well—I think its point is somewhat vague and unconvincing—‘universe trying to tell us something’… And I don't think it's as simple as ‘finding what you love’ (since questions like yours legitimately arise in response), it's more about learning to love what you do first. Enjoying the process should be of higher priority than the end goal—that's what it's about, I think.
