When you feel you're on the right hill, you might still be on the wrong hill. You can climb Mt. Fuji and feel like you're on top of the world. But you're really not.

Why not just live day-to-day on whether you are happy rather than critiquing whether you are on "the right hill".
And what do you do when you are not happy? Go uphill (and it may be the wrong hill) or drop yourself randomly on new hills every day? Both are suboptimal. You should do a bit of both. Like go uphill 80% of the time and test random points 20% of the time.
That's the "exploration vs. exploitation" problem.
