Yes, you must do things you need to do. But if you do things not because you want them to happen, but because you are lazy, or because you are pressured, then you shouldn't do it.
i.e. if you were laid out your motivations for doing something and did not endorse the majority of the desires that are pushing you in a certain direction, then you should quit.
you shouldn't do things contradictory to your desires if you truly care for your well-being.
