Some desires are fulfilled and some are not. The pain of one unfulfilled desire is sometimes more than gain of ten fulfilled desires. Also with every fulfilled desire, we may have sacrificed or compromised many other important things of life. This imbalance in concept of desire converts most of the successes to failure without being getting noticed easily.
Any unfulfilled desire gives us an opportunity to look back and understand whether the desire was worth for? Rather controlling desires at the point of origin can help and simplify life to a great extent. With so many desires adding to the wish list daily, we can classify them in to two categories which are created:1) because of others - like competition and social status, 2) not because of others.
For former, just remove them from the list and for later, one question can help - Do you really want this?

What do you really Want? If asked one would want everything that can make him/her happy and it would depend on person to person. One should not question his/her wishes and wisdom often !! It is not going to lead to spirituality.
