I don't think you have to love everything that you need to do.
Fun fact: I once cleaned out a hoarder house for the city of toronto. I definitely didn't love that job. Paid well but we didn't get anymore contracts from them, which was the sole purpose of doing it, so wasn't even worth it.
I think perspective is important. Although there are many necessary things that I don't love or even remotely like to do, I try to think that at least I have the ability and the privilege of doing such necessary things. The privilege of being capable to take on special responsibility to perform a necessary task. It helps make cleaning out shit or other shitty tasks slightly more bearable, at least such is the case for myself.
