Raising kids is one of the worst examples since a person usually gets more joy out of that than anything else in life that they do.

Nah, kids is the perfect example as you aren't doing it for the joy it brings you. It does bring you joy, but that is not the reason you do it.

There could also be decisions you make for your children that are difficult and don't bring you joy at all(quite the opposite)but you feel are better for them in the long run.
