No matter how great we feel, we will never be satisfied.
If you ask people to rate their current live on a scale from 1 to 10, on average, they will rate it a 7.
Even if something really great or terrible happens, it will be another number for a short period of time, but eventually it will go back to being a 7. So on average, we are doing fine.
But this also means that you can never be fully happy. Your life will never be a 10, no matter what happens. This is just how our brain works. But we will try to get to the 10 no matter what.
This can result in a never-ending cycle of unhappiness and leave you unsatisfied, always aiming for this next great thing. While this can be motivating, it is also a trap to always be unhappy.
Nevertheless there is also light: we can get back up even from the worst setbacks in the long term. Always remember that.
