It's a very good question. Most people search endlessly for good feelings (happy feelings) but it is always a moving target. I thought it would make me happy and it did for awhile but now I need something else. Always moving.
This endless searching for happy feelings is their purpose for living.
Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee. (St. Augustine)

When I was very young, I thought I wanted to be an art teacher. It did not happen until I was middle aged. I taught art for 20 years and retired. Still, I am not completely happy. What I really want in life is the love of all my family. That's the important thing. If I could say one thing to all the young people out there, it would be this: Love is the most important thing is the world. Do not be afraid to show it even when someone acts like he or she does not want our love. They really do deep down inside. Everything else will come. Grams

Finding out what someone needs or wants depends on what makes you happy. Perhaps, happiness is not the only basis for knowing what is needed or wanted.
It's really difficult to ask yourself this because a lot of different factors come in when we are trying to determine what we really want.
A first step that anyone can take is to be open-minded so that you can be able to really see what you want or therefore need in your life. Prioritize and balance out all the advantages and disadvantages that comes out of it. Then all you really have to do is to work hard for it to achieve it.

Experience life, travel widely and know what you don't want

everyone in the world has the same want- to have no wants.
