Agree. Think that people feel the most fulfilled when there's some element of a struggle or a challenge that they've overcome to get the reward. Of course the right amount of that is important. OP doesn't need nonstop challenges coming at them. In this case though it sounds like there might not be enough.
That's the secret right there. Also important to keep busy after kids are out of the nest, retirement, etc. Seen ppl struggling to find purpose once the pace slowed down.
