This goes for anything that you trust more in than God. Most of us would say we trust in God, but is it God plus something else, or fully in God? Do we seek our fulfillment in how we are living for God or do we seek fulfillment in money, our career, our hobbies, etc.? Seeking God will bring fulfillment in the journey. Seeking other things you strive to get to fulfillment without actually ever getting there as the destination is always getting pushed further out.
