Of course, it is not possible for every person to make USD 1,000,000 a day. Some will, many won't. BUT, that does not make it a bad goal to aim for. Because in aiming for it, even if you do you get the goal, you will get much farther than you have if you did NOT have the goal.
Money does not make happiness--it is true. You make your own happiness with your family. But, money CAN give you freedom--freedom to do something you want, freedom to go somewhere you might like, freedom to own something you might like to have, freedom to help your friends if they need it, freedom to decide one day you want to change what you are doing and change it THAT DAY. What you dream, you can do--today, if you have the funds. This is what money gives; it gives the chance. What you do with the chance is your idea. How you use it might give you more happiness, or less. However, without it, you do not have have these same freedoms.
Peoople do not work hard for money to get happiness, they work to get the freedom it gives.
