Sadly, in a way I could state the opposite - I need a brake. Big time.
Happy, for you though ! (never mind my whining)

Quit NOW! Take a break before you resent what you do. You're a medical professional I believe? Pediatrics correct?
My sister is Dr. that works for a drug rehab. She HATES her job and is starting to resent the patients. But she feels stuck because she makes really good money. Finally convinced her to stop "existing" and to start "living" again. She's selling the house and moving out of state.
She could not see existing on less money than she currently makes until we reflected on my past year.
When I was working my wife's Visa bill was twice our mortgage every month and we still managed to invest money and have zero balance on the cards.
So when my company and my salary went away we managed to survive an entire year on the wifes teaching salary, 1/3rd of what I brought home, and only took 2k out of savings the entire time.
Whenever it got tight I'd do a quick consulting gig at $1500 a day, work that I hated but it was money.
Guess what, we learned to adapt and survive.
Work is not who you are, it's what you do so you can be who you want to be.
