I have observed that when you finally get what you have toiled to achieve after a few sweating moments, you have no clue as to what to do with it then.
You either rush through with the sweet success of victory and savour the delicious feeling of achievement or it becomes such a surreal moment you feel sort of cheated with the sense of victory. The worst is when you realise that the whole process wasn't as tough and confusing as finding the beginning of a single spaghetti in a full bowl, rather more like finding a black olive in a garden salad.
There is also the 'Chasing Car' Syndrome as bought to my attention when I was a watching an interview of Gary Lightbody. For the uninitiated he is the lead singer of the alt band Snow Patrol and one of their famous song is Chasing Cars. When asked about the meaning, Gary alluded the phrase to his dad, who mentioned that Gary was like a dog chasing a car when it came to girls. A dog chases a car without the intention of knowing what to do with it once it stops. It stops its chase and barking as soon as the car has slowed down.
According to Gary's dad, that is how Gary was when he came to girls, he would chase them, but when they fell for him, he wouldn't know what to do and would chase another girl.
So, in theory, we all like the thrill of the chase more than achieving the target. Once we get that, our mind becomes a blank page, waiting for someone to write something new for us to chase #
The time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted
