It's best when you achieve a delicate balance of being genuinely happy and grateful with what you are and have, while being motivated to make yourself and your circumstances better still.
Think about it: the people with the greatest wealth are the people who have the greatest power. And once you have power, you can enact change. For yourself, and as you gain in power, for others as well. Being at the top levels of financial wealth only makes you miserable if you've sold yourself out to get and be there.
But, being at the top levels of power also gives you the freedom to make the world a better place - not just your own life and the life of a few selected family members.
It's just that most people are so blinded by the selfish point of view concerning money and power that they never realize this when and if they get there.
