Desiring things, attaining them and then enjoying them is all well and good, and helps you to feel good in the short term.
In the long term, all the habit achieves is to make you unsatisfied in the present and a slave to desire.
If you want to be free, truly free, you must desire nothing and be content with your lot, whatever it might be at any particular point in time.
