Daring to sound cliche... I have to offer a different reason...Happiness doesn't come from doing what we like to do...as seen by people doing what they like to do everyday and then ending up in bad situations because of it...or from liking what we have to do, for if we have no choice and have to do it, most of us won't like it...unless happiness comes from within. To me there are two primary ways to be happy...
Love and be happy with yourself...
Live to make others happy.
Cool question!

All unhappiness is caused by comparison.
Anywhere is paradise; it's up to you.
A day without laughter is a day wasted.
A smile costs nothing, but its value is priceless. It enriches the one who gives it, yet it impoverishes him not. It happens in a flash, but the memory may last for days. No one is so rich that he can get along without it. No one is so poor that he cannot afford to give it. A smile generates happiness in the home and good will in business because it says, "I like you. You pleasure me." If you meet an acquaintance or a friend who is too busy to give you a smile--leave one of yours. No one needs a smile so much as the person who has none to give.
HAPPINESS IS STANDING BESIDE ME
They say happiness is a thing you can't see,
A thing you can't touch - I disagree.
Happiness is standing beside me.
Happiness is whatever you want it to be.
Happiness is a high hill;
Will I find it, Yes I will.
Happiness is a tall tree,
Can I climb it - watch and see.
They say happiness is the folly of fools,
Pity poor me, one of the fools.
Happiness is smiling upon me,
Walking my way, sharing my day.
Happiness is whatever you want it to be.
Happiness is a bright star,
Are we happy - Yes we are.
Happiness is a clear sky,
Give me wings and let me fly.
Happiness is whatever you want it to be

CC is wrong, we choose whether we enjoy executing a mandatory task, |the task has to be completed, it is then preferable to enjoy the task, than to do it begrudgingly....because we choose to enjoy it...bearing little relevance to whether the task in question is in actuality, enjoyable..
SkyCat is always right.
Now that I have stated this he will be completely wrong in the proceeding questions or answers he proffers, such is sods law and life in general.
Be Right, Righteous, Right.

Nonsense. If you aren't happy doing what you like to do, you never will be happy. If you like doing something unpleasant, then you are masochistic.

you are incorrect, happiness comes from contentment with whatever arises, equipose towards them, and acceptance of that which can not be changed

Well I guess you can look at it like that..although it is a very good thing to do what you like also/we need that.
