This is a very common theme. Once you reach a certain threshold of income (not everybody though) you start valuing freedom, flexibility, traveling and start looking beyond work. This is primarily because money has lost its forcing function. Even if you have the best setup in terms of work, compensation, co-workers, you lose motivation and drift away. This isn't true of everybody though, most successful entrepreneurs despite earning massive amounts of money, are still as hungry, motivated, and dedicated to their work as the first day.
