One definition of happiness is being at peace with oneself no matter the situation. But a lot of people who make a large difference in the world/lives of others were deeply unsatisfied/egotistical hence why they even pursued the change they did.<p>How do you reconcile the two, or are there examples in business one can point to that have?
I'm only 28 so I don't know all the answers... but I think you can be a sort of "relaxed ambitious" where you are very content with your life as it is, and any drive to achieve is driven by curiosity moreso than pure ambition of power or ambition of other peoples' approval.
