Read Schopenhauer and realize that happiness is a fleeting feeling that comes and goes, not a concrete object. Happiness should never be your motive in life, because it can never be attained, even if you satisfy your goals, it will come back or you will make new ones. Life is an endless struggle of all against all and that since desires are endless, suffering is endless.
Suffering can never be conquered, it is a beast which lives outside time and space, when we die, suffering will still live. it can only be minimized. (meditation, mindfulness, etc)

Then read nietzsche and realize its pain what gives us meaning and purpose. Suffering/desire is why we do anything. And we must use is as a tool to accomplish our goals and ambition. "what does not kill me, makes me stronger"
