If you place your hope in the temporal things of earth, you will become greatly disappointed and depressed. As a Christian you have a heavenly city, an eternal home with the Lord. You don't need to seek the things of the world to find fulfillment. Purpose to seek the city that is to come, whose maker and builder is God. You're a pilgrim just passing through this world. You should have in anticipation for eternity to come. If Christ came back today would you be ready and excited, or ashamed?
