Happiness is something you cannot earn or buy. If you have spent your life trying to get some happiness or something that will make you happy, odds are that you are wasting a really good life that you don't know you have. You passed up and overlooked a lot of personal happiness. You are probably spending so much time chasing and dreaming of unnecessary thing of what could be of no use to you and that you are forgetting about all the small and big things occurring right now that could make you happy.
