It's nice to have something to look forward to. I always have some goals I'm working towards. Don't other people? Are your dreams burdens to you?
It's more of associating your basic pleasure emotions like happiness that's the problem "I'll be happy when X" rather than something more healthy like "I want to do X because I want to better myself/It will solve Y problem/it's a personal achievement of mine"
I think this will resonate with you if you haven’t seen it.

The key is to enjoy your time at the lower goals. Life is what happens between the big life-changing moments, make sure you savor every minute as much as you can.
