No, it doesn't tell you "regardless". It tells you, if you do something, you better love it. So if you start doing something, and it turns out you don't love it, you better stop doing it, and do something else instead. As an extreme example, take Nazis managing a concentration camp. If it turns out you are not a bad enough person to love it, you better stop doing it.

That is not at all what ‘love what you do’ means. You’re talking about ‘do what you love’. That means what you are talking about.

Both of these sayings can of course be applied to evil as well as good, and be either positive or pathological in impact depending on the situation.
