We've all heard something to the effect of "you need to be happy with what you have". For me, this rings true. I've forgone the notion that I need to be working towards doing my dream job, having my dream house, etc. and instead looked for what can give me happiness on a daily basis. Some cultures (usually found in developing nations) celebrate happiness more than others because they live in the moment. Some countries have amazing geography and lots of options to be in nature in a matter of minutes after leaving your house. This is why I live in Brazil and why I left the US.
