Let's say that happiness (as a state of mind) represents your satisfaction with your current situation. If you're not getting what you want, your desire is greater, and you're not happy about it. But then once you get exactly what you want (or more), then you're perfectly happy, and there's nothing more that you desire.
So if you're an ambitious or demanding person, there's obviously a lot of things that you want, out of life and from yourself. Does that make you doomed to dissatisfaction? Why is it so hard to, as the saying goes, have your cake and eat it too?
