I'd wager most of those things you've done to make yourself happy are long forgotten and the 'next thing' is all that is really relevant. Most people cannot fathom living a life of joy, that is the true aim we should strive for... regardless of whether we're 'getting what we want' or things are going your way...you still choose joy. Leading a life of service is one of the few ways of truly experiencing this, a life of self-service will keep you on the road to nowhere and the neverending search for 'happiness', which is of course cannot ever be sustained.
