I think in perspective you can be happy in any situation, but you also have to know when it's just silly to use that as an excuse to stay in a bad situation that is not serving you and your goals.
You can be happy by doing just about any type of work... however, you cannot be everything that you could be doing any type of work...

Van Gogh could not have been everything that he could have been painting walls... and Tony Robbins could not be all that he is driving a cab...

That is the ultimate reason that we should strive to attain certain goals or obtain positions (jobs) because they will facilitate our self-growth... and not because it will make us happier... because the job itself will never make you happy...

I have seen happy paupers and miserable millionaires... outside influences does not create inner happiness in the long run... mastering our mind does...

Great post VacMan...
