Daily Lift #1214
In physical matters, a person's desires are always greater than the actual potential for pleasure.
But in spiritual matters, such as studying Torah and doing good deeds, a person's pleasure will be commensurate to his desire for those things. The greater you desire them, the more pleasure you will experience!
(see Bais Halevi - Breishit; Rabbi Pliskin's "Gateway to Happiness," p.108)
