I think we always have unattainables or at least goals that havn't been fulfilled yet. It's not to say that until you reach these you will be unhappy, but cause once you get there, you will see further up the chain.

I am happy. If you had asked me 5 years ago what i wanted in life, I think I have ticked off everything. Gay huh?

I think the main thing is realising that it is ok right NOW. I'm not being tortured. I'm not unemployed. I eat pretty much what I want (food is a big part of my happiness). I have good relationships with the people I see. I made it this way.

Now to those that are down when they have everything, well, I think they just need to think outside themselves for a moment. To be unhappy and have everything going for you is just self-centeredness.
