I remember that I used to intentionally put some things that I wanted out of reach, so that I still got that feeling of yearning for it, all the while knowing that if I achieved it then it wouldn't be as great. Then I eventually realized that if achieving something lessens the value of it, then I shouldn't really want it in the first place.
