The search itself, whatever the search be, can be an addiction without resolution... because there are only two real resolutions for an addiction: death or making and attaining goals. One has to be willing to accept the work they have done and then move forward. There are no real set times to do such things and there are no real easy ways to make such transitions. These are just the things we humans do... the chances we take. I'm not sure this life would be interesting enough were things not so... predictable. Order really is just an illusion as there is always something left to improve. Search and then find and then move forward.
