That Venn diagram is a bastardisation of Ikigai https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikigai. If you search that word on Google Images, you'll see the same diagram, but it's a departure from the concept, made for self-help content. I recommend looking into the origins of you're interested in it.
It’s too hard to solve 4 constraints simultaneously.

Get financial independence (with any reasonably paying job), then you can solve the remaining constraints without always looking over your shoulder whether the world still wants to pay you.

Most scientific researchers fit exactly in the middle.
