It wasn't until I had experienced several major peaks in my career in my mid 30s that I realized it would never be enough.
I've found that adding mindfulness and some elements of Buddhist philosophy (minus the religious bits) has been a hugely helpful practice for dealing with this reality.

I don't really think any promotion or any significant windfall would change this feeling of "is this it". Sure, I'd be able to buy a bigger house, a nicer car, and go on fancier vacations... But I'd always be asking "whats next". Instead I am trying to find peace and happiness in the routine and stability of life. The problem I'm facing is that routine and stability are rather boring. I miss the feeling a child has when experiencing something for the first time.
