Who realises all the happiness he desires? Everything is in the hands of God. Therefore, one should learn contentment.
Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn, out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.

Whatever we are doing, believing, thinking, desiring, understanding, feeling – if we are not aware of them while aware of ourselves in the present – we are asleep, and all are but embers of a dream.
Our aspirations, our affections, and our desires are turned towards the wrong things. And only when we turn them towards the right things will things get better.
