I was always taught by my father to seek joy not happiness. Joy is something you can aim for, it comes in bursts and it's very rewarding and cheap to work towards. Happiness exists at the cost of other emotions which are essential to colour your life. Of course when I was ten I thought he was a grumpy old git but now at 30+ I'm starting to get it :)
