I'm glad you've found happiness. Have you found meaning? Personally, meaning is more important to me than happiness, though meaning often leads to happiness.

IMO, happiness is just a side-effect, and shouldn't be optimized, just like the taste of good food. What needs to be optimized are ways to sustain happiness, and one of those is finding meaning in life.
