Take on a life

All of us seek happiness, but the ways we go about it often lack wisdom. Our ways of seeking happiness take on a life of their own. We lose perspective. We have no idea where we're going.

I'm not certain what take on a life of their own and lose perspective mean. But I can suppose both are about something losing control.

Thanks in advance!
