Looking outwards for satisfaction, can make you disillusioned. If you surround yourself with party people, and especially if everyone is into drugs, it can seem quite exhilirating. However it can also get tired, and you may come to see it as a superficial existence.
Focusing inwards forces you to challenge yourself more as a person, so while on the surface to others it might appear that your life is somewhat mundane, it can be personally quite fulfilling.
Having money opens many opportunities for you. As with most anything else in life you can view it not as a gift and squander it, or you can use it to enrich yourself by opening your world to new experiences and ways of looking at life.
Personally, although I can be gregarious in social situations, I am actually very much of an introvert. I can be satisfied spending long hours in front of a computer smonitor. Still, I manage to make time to get out and travel and experience things that others only dream of because it adds to the quality of my life and help makes my work more creative and alive.
Unless we are a victim of unfortunate circumstances (as so many in the world are), we have the ability to create our own happiness. When you learn how to do that, then you can exponentially increase your happiness no matter what your lot in life is.
Webmasters have the potential to generally do something creative. If what you are creating reflects your vision and feels creative, and if you are making a living at it, then no matter what level of further monetary success you experience, you should feel fulfilled. Afterall, many people have a much more difficult life.
In my case, I am very optimistic about the future, and I love the plans which I am laying the foundation for now.
