Has anyone else ever felt like they've really "made it" in their careers?

I've taken a nice break from work to travel, recharge my batteries, and help out a close family member. During this time I've been doing contract work on and off, not too much or too little. It's a good rate, I get to choose my own hours, and I can take off whenever I want. I'm super grateful to be able to work this way now and I feel incredibly lucky. <br><br>I've worked my ass off to get to this point and I've felt genuinely fulfilled as a result. I've gone through multiple layoffs, quit a toxic job when I had no other jobs lined up, and I've cried my way through some tough moments in my early career. It's a great feeling to be able to genuinely say now, "It was all worth it. I made it."<br><br>I'm just curious if anyone's ever felt like this about their careers, where you finally feel like you have it good, and can relax and enjoy things to the fullest. What did those moments look like for you?
