Balance is key, ScalesWriter. Keep that in mind that no one wants to read a story where the main character gets everything they want. While you may be projecting what you want out of life on this person, it is not the way to approach this story. Make sure that you challenge your protagonist with situations that they may not be able to get out off. Like your main character, you must challenge yourself when writing. The struggle is going to be worth the reward.
