Jewish tradition teaches us that being happy means being satisfied with one's lot. I think we would never make progress if we are "satisfied" with what we have...but happiness is too ephemeral to define. IMHO, it is best to enjoy life while one can and do for others. That brings satisfaction to the do-er, and happiness to one who receives the benefit of the doing.
