📌Choose "happiness" or "progress" well?

We used to be in situations where people chose progress at work rather than happiness, but we decided to choose happiness, so we decided to quit the job we didn't like.

It's been about 5 years now. We think we made the right decision because now we have both happiness and progress at work.

What other people will decide about? Choose work or happiness?
