I think that there is tension between drive and happiness. I think happiness sometimes means lack of drive, satisfaction with how things are.... drive is unrest, need to do something... and then something else.

Kinda black and white tho? People can have happiness, content, drive, unrest, need to do al at the same time. It's contradiction yes, and the entire universe if full of condtradiction.
No reason why someone can not be content ( happy) whatever you want to call it and have drive, and settle the unrest. I don't think it's one way or the other as your example above Venus, can be, doesn't have to be. I know you said sometimes, but I am getting a more black and white vibe from this and the question posed.
I think I do matter, as we all do. Leave a mark? Hmm don't care if my name is attached to it, but I do care about doing what I should to help make a better world. I have drive to do things, and yet I am also content overall and will continue to do another and another.. peacefully as I can in the moments given.
