I think this problem can be solved quite easily with the following mindset: Do something that might make you happy. If it doesn't make you happy, try something else. If it does make you happy, keep doing it. If the thing that made you happy no longer makes you happy, try something else. Oh, and, don't take advice on happiness from blog posts by strangers. Friends, maybe, given that they share a similar mindset to you, but not strangers. And yes I realize the irony of this.
