This might be philosophical but wanted to understand if we should get satisfied and be happy with what we have or keep striving for more?

Reason I am asking this is - I earn close to 1.5 lakhs every month and if someone had told me this during my college days I would have taken it eyes closed thinking this is more than enough. But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.

I am from no name MBA college and hail from vey small town... Got to work in strategy of one of the big 4 and now working in MC of other big4... If someone told me this 2 years back while my colg placements... I would have never belived.
But I guess when the divine power has given me this opportunity it would be injustice to just live and not thrive... So I constantly look for more but I do draw a line when things tend to cross boundaries...

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through.
