I think it's a mistake to equate happiness with pleasure and comfort. True happiness is deeper and stronger than that.
There's a lot of advice and inspirational quotes that talk about how things may be hard now but there will be better days ahead, and the implication is that easier is better. It will get easier, they say. But things getting easier is not a very inspiring goal. I think it's possible to have a better day today while it's hard.
Feeling good is not the ultimate gauge of life. It's good to struggle because it means you're going somewhere. It's good to not be comfortable where you're at. It means you're growing.
