Your post has made me wonder what is truly worthwhile, and I can't find an answer, because as they say in my country: “every mind is a world unto itself, and we act according to our point of view.” For me, happiness is part of life and the journey. There is no specific point at which you have to be happy. You simply are happy. Sometimes you may believe that happiness is something specific, but for me it is not. Anything, no matter how small, makes me happy.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts.
