Looking forward to something brings such analloyed happiness to your soul. You can live your whole life in anticipation of something in the future.
You wait for things to happen, for dreams to come true; and you go on dreaming about the elusive goal. Dreams about sometthing that you will get in the future - these dreams can make your life. Such a simple thing like thinking of getting out of the office early can bring excitement in your heart. The very anticipation of being able to be home early can make you doubly productive.
The joy of waiting for the family outing to happen can brighten weeks of dull routine. The anticipation of getting new furniture can make for glorious weeks, even months. Planning, calculating, dreaming, hoping - it can occupy you for hours on end.
But what happens when you actually reach the summit? When you actually get something that you have been so desperately waiting for? You realise there is no more looking forward to. Your dreams have become realities, and you realise that they will now become realities of the past. And now you must look for something else to look forward to.
Don't worry. As long as there is life, there will be more hopes, more dreams, more aspirations. You will be able to experience the joys of anticipation again and again. I agree that "when Gods want to punish us, they answer our prayers" (-Oscar Wilde). Of course, some prayers need to be answered. But others are best left unanswered.

That's nice! Eternal dreams propel us ahead. Once those dreams are achieved, we are left goal-less. But then new goals mushroom easily enough. Whether it is a small thing like reaching home early from work or something big like buying a car. Dreams keep us busy! That's what life is all about!
