To be happy

To exist, experience. How can it be otherwise? No, don't move on, think about it, all experiences, all point in being, all existence would then only have the goal to be, to be for the contribution to the experience of everything as a whole. To represent as many simulations of existence as can be.
So you really cannot fail no matter what you do or what happens.
As to the best of my knowing, there are two factors contributing to your life, what you do and what the rest of the universe does with it and what it does onto you, each one inversely proportional to the other.
(What you do) times (Situation and what existence does with what you do) = your reality
So live your life the best way you see fit at the moment, but to limit the ability of the experiences of others by not being moral while doing so limits the possibilities of experiences of existance, so live morally as well.
Whenever you ask a question about anything, think vertically, does the solution or answer matter, or can you find a solution that covers more than just that of which you ponder?
I do not claim to know anything as truth- just to live out life by what presents itself to be true, at the moment of my thought

I think that life should be about love and giving back. We are all born with gifts. We need to nurture our gifts and use them to contribute to making our world (not the world) a better place for those you touch. There are so many people in need of countless things. I said 'things' not very eloquent, what I mean is emotional support or a home etc. We all have trials as we grow. Some people go through these trials and become bitter. If you take your trials as lessons and gain strength from them that puts you in a position to give back in the areas you have learned about through your own experience. Sounds a lot better than being bitter. Bitterness eats at your soul. With your soul festering because of the unhappiness you have created for yourself there is no way you can contribute to others. Through contribution, charity, volunteer work you will not only make the world a better place, you will be a much happier, complete person.

That my friend, is up to you. Think of it as an exetential moment. If you know Who you are, Where you are, and What your purpose of life is...then you are happy. So basically, what makes you happy is your main goal in life. It seems kind of selfish but it's actually not. because what makes you happy will most like make other happy, unless of course harming others makes you happy.

The main objective of a human being, as stated by Buddha and other enlighten minds is to achieve Self Knowledge by which we come to the intuitive understanding of what our life is all about and what is its real given purpose.

To leave the world better than it was when you got here. Anything less is cheating yourself out of your responsibility.
Being happy is a good way to achieve that - happy people tend to help others, and helping others is a way to make the world a better place. It doesn't have to be huge, you don't have to join the peace corps or stop world hunger or wars or anything, its all the little things that us everyday humans can do that add up to making the world better.

Personally, I believe that the main goal of a human being is that he should be able to discover the purpose of his life.
To answer the question, "Why do I exist?"
After he discovers his purpose of existence... ah, then you could leave peacefully from this world.
Good day.

Each being & creature on this earth is here for a reason. Plants are here to grow, convert co2 into oxygen for us & feed animals & us, which in turn are here to feed us. We are here to change the world, each in our unique way. Some people were born to become a leader & change the world for the better, & others to change the world on a smaller but no less important scale, as with no smaller changes big ones can't be made. How you discover your goal is up to you, whether you find it through your spirituality, deep thinking or greatest desires. You will find out some day, everyone does.

To learn, love, and contribute to your world with your talent, whatever that may be. We came here to learn a lesson, and until we learn it, we come back over and over again until we get it right. The body is only a vessel, the soul is the principle reason we are here. Health is important, but spirituality is paramount. Notice I did not say religion, they are two different things, and you don't need religion to soar on the astral plane with the creators. Love and knowledge is all you need.
