I think that I agree with Element. If you go into the thing with an aim in mind, with some concrete idea of This Thing I Wanna Get, then you're just transferring your attachment and reaching for something new. Sure, it's something that will probably be less damaging than reaching for wealth or prestige, but the idea is to quit reaching altogether.

This is a good reminder that while all those things are nice, and there's no real reason to be opposed to them, it is extremely important to check the desire to chase them whenever we feel that urge coming on.
