some of these answers are really close. Probably just as good as mine. (But just a wee bit limited in nature.)

To enjoy the ride and delight in the small extravagances in life. The sunset, the great book, the kindness of a passerby, the favorite meal, the best friends. To share who you are with others and make time to do what brings you contentment and joy. To want what you have is often so much better than having what you want.
Or maybe it was something else. Just guessing.

You should post your question in the riddles section. Anyway, this is the real key to happiness: finding God.
A happiness that is sought for ourselves alone can never be found, for a happiness that is being shared is not big enough to make us happy.
There is a false and momentary happiness in self-satisfaction, but it always leads to sorrow because it narrows and deadens our spirit.
True happiness is found in unselfish love, a love, which increases in proportion as it is shared. There is no end to the sharing of love, and, therefore, the potential happiness of such love is without limit.
Infinite sharing is the law of God's inner life. He has made the sharing of ourselves the law of our own being, so that it is in loving others that we best love ourselves. In disinterested activity we best fulfill our own capacities to act and to be.
Yet there can never be happiness in compulsion. It is not enough for love to be shared. It must be shared freely. That is to say it must be given, not merely taken.
Peace and every blessing!

"If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years."
