The Pursuit of Happiness

It's a silly idea what American's call their constitutional right for "The pursuit of happiness." It's just something you can't reach. Only being in the presence of God will give your soul rest and a sense of completeness and peace. The only satisfaction your soul will find is by God. God calling you to surrender your sense of what I would say is entitlement to "the desires of your heart" and letting Him take control of your life. Yes, control. Not in a robotic sense. But control in the sense of allowing Him to be master of your life. Not you, because you are incapable of controlling the future. For tomorrow is not known and it could change at an instance.

'Misterium' 
Famous Russian composer and pianist Alexander Scriabin who created the first colour keyboard. In 1915 Scriabin worked on developing of a new form of entertainment that would unite all Mankind through music, art, light, acting and interaction between performers and public. For this project Scriabin started a draft of a new cross-genre composition, which included music, literature, dance, architecture, natural landscape and light. He contemplated a seven-day long composition titled 'Misterium', of which he wrote down a few fragments on seventy pages shortly before his death. He described the composition in his draft as "a grandiose religious synthesis of all arts which would herald the birth of a New World." Scriabin planned his work to be performed at the foothills of the Himalayan mountains. Scriabin planned to include the Sunrises and the Sunsets into the measures of his unfinished music score. The idea of the seven-day music piece was later realized by Karlheinz Stockhausen.

You may have your plans, goals and bucket lists. But God is in control of your life. Everything is in His control. It doesn't mean you should just give up on your dreams, just include God in them and allow Him to be the 'composer' of every 'music piece' of your life.
