Human nature?
Most people want things they don't have right now. All my life I wanted to find someone perfect for me. Someone who got me on a level nobody else ever did. One who could make me laugh and never looked at me like I was crazy when I got in that mood. Some amazing, sweet, funny, witty, clever, cute guy who loved everything about me. Well, I found him. Now all I want is to start my life with him. I'm so impatient! Why is it that when we get what we want we then move on to the next thing we want? When we finally get married, am I just going to want more? Will I then want more money? Will I want a new career? I wonder, why is it that we are never just content to have what we have. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Many people get what they've been dreaming of and then move on to another thing. Always wanting. I guess it's good to have goals. All I know is that I'm happier now than I have ever been. I feel like I'm so close to having it all. So close ...
I'm currently feeling hopeful.
I'm also listening to Dave Matthews. That could have something to do with it.

Your post reminds me of High Fidelity, where they're sitting in the bar toward the end and he's talking about "the fantasy"; about how the fantasy is always better than the reality, but the truth that the fantasy doesn't really exist.
It's the same deal with just about everything else, I'm thinking. Money, career, power, family, whatever. We just want more and more of a future which may or may not actually come (or make us any happier).
I'm with you that goals are important, but at the same time we're a generation that has always been told to prepare for the future, rather than to live in the present. So I'd have to say that erring on the side of living in the present is never ever a bad thing.
