The emotional management is a big part of what Buddhism, and many other philosophies, focus on. Eg consider the following two situations:
1. You approach your goal, you're excited and happy that you made it, and once you're done you're happy when you set a new goal. Even if you don't achieve your goals, you're happy throughout the whole process.
2. As you nearly complete a goal, you feel like it's not as big a deal, and you're mad about the fact that you're not at a further goal.
There's no simple, 5 minute fix to these problems-but emotional management is something that can be learned and highly worth investigating.
