Happiness is a state of mind that you get when everything is going well, you can forget your worries and you are in a place you love doing something you love.
It can be goal-seeking, it is a form of happiness too, but not the only one.
For example, I'm happy when I'm hiking in the countryside in the midst of nature, there isn't any goal achieved there, just a fuzzy happiness.
