I believe that it is in each person's history of reinforcement; what we have been conditioned to believe is good.
For instance, I do not take vacations, or holidays or days off. They do not make me happy.
I do not plan on retiring, ever. I really don't like golf and do not have the patience to hang out in God's waiting room in Florida; I have things I want to do and I am doing more of what I want and less of what I don't want. For me, that is happiness.
I also think that the pursuit of happiness is not the pursuit of instant gratification or ecstasy.

Separation from his Creator...man cannot fully reconcile his purpose apart from God. Though people eventually find things they enjoy pursuing, most inevitably ask, "Why am I here? What is my purpose?

The buddhists and Hindus have the most interesting take on this.
They believe it's from desire...
