Searching for happiness and satisfaction: The dangers

This is something I experienced as of late. We achieve greatness in our lives and even witness our greatest dreams come true but what happens when we retire from those dreams. Some of us go out searching for new one and in the process we lose our identity in the process and forget the our dreams have already been fulfilled, even taking our eyes off God and stop giving him thanks for making those dreams a reality. It is then that we need to take a step back, and with a thankful heart serve him more and more. Many of us are guilty of this constant search for happiness and success. I took a look at notes I made ages ago and it dawned on me that I missed the point because I already have all I need and I have achieved all I have ever needed to achieve. Somewhere in the process I unknowingly stopped trusting God to provide the happiness and greatness I've been searching for. Take this as a lesson, searching aimlessly for new possible dreams with a purpose to replace that which we have left behind does not work and is selfish thinking, rather take the time to really appreciate the real genuine dreams that have been achieved and to appreciate what I have right here, right now.
