Satisfaction and creativity

Is there a (direct) inverse relation between satisfaction and creativity/ innovation? When one is content, where can the drive to make things better come from? Or is mankind somehow hard-wired to look at something and think how to make it better? I'm ambivalent about this. I have see how too comfortable a position can lead to skewed perspectives (failing wall-street investment banker's bonuses come to mind, or incompetent CEOs with huge salaries and golden parachutes) but I can also see the artistic need to look at something beautiful and show it in (arguably) enhanced ways which are not driven by discontment but rather by inspiration. What do you think?
