The majority of people who are unhappy in life suffer from a preoccupation known as "destination addiction" which is the ideology that happiness is a fixed point which you can arrive at.
People who suffer from Destination Addiction believe wholeheartedly that once they achieve a particular goal or overcome a specific obstacle, then they will be happy; and furthermore, that this happiness will be perpetual.
If only it were that simple. The problem is that once the goal is achieved, or the obstacle overcome, another will be set. Nothing is ever enough, and your happiness is constantly tied to the next requirement.
Happiness comes from being content with your current situation; it comes from appreciating what you already have, and not resenting what you do not. It is about being grateful, thankful, and cherishing the blessings in your life. It means not competing to "keep up with the Jones"; there will always be greater and lesser people than yourself, more successful, more rich, more attractive; life is not a competition.
Happiness is the active choice to appreciate your life.
