Tell HN: I have the perfect job, why is it not enough?

I used to worry about never being satisfied. Then I hit some burnout where I had no ambition and was depressed. It is much better to keep wanting more. Wanting more means you are alive and motivated. Nurture and continue to enjoy that feeling.

Some people are happy enough living through an 'I' perspective (I have this, I have that). Some people can't be happy with that, and look for happiness through success as some kind of 'we' (we as a family, we as a community, we as a race or gender or class or followers of a religion, we as a nation, we as a species, we as a planet). Or maybe some other moral formulation.

Certainly the easy path, if you can stomach it, is to satisfy yourself with personal material success. But you might need something else. Congrats, you're human.

start lifting, hire a trainer to do it right and safely

see what your body can do, it is clear that your mind has accomplished a lot

the contentment of a great workout is hard to beat

Sounds like the job is technically interesting, but doesn’t really have deeper purpose. Maybe find a job where you’d feel you’re doing something meaningful?
