Some good advice I was once given:

"If you want to be happier in your current job, go looking for another one."

Like all creative, passionate and engaged people, we want to grow and be better. I'm in a situation where although I have a great gig, I've pretty much hit the ceiling in the geographic location I'm in, and have to consider whether to expend my efforts to either a)change location or b)push the ceiling. For a number of reasons, I'm on the change location side of the equation, but looking for opportunities elsewhere, has certainly made me appreciate all the things I DO have at my current gig, and oddly enough, allowed me to find ways to actually push the ceiling.
