It depends on such small things it can change hour by hour and it's entirely based by my perception.
I can't plan if I'll be sick or if my partner will dump me or anything else that may upset me.
Happiness shouldn't be the goal, it should be something we strive for, despite of the negative in our life.
I can try to achieve some form of success (professional, monetary, social) and that will increase the chance that my life won't fall apart.
From experience that's not enough to be happy all the time. I felt the most miserable right after achieving great results and relaxing. Keeping myself busy (with work or family) is what makes it easier to be happy.
I don't think the alternative should be an hedonistic plan on how to be happy (eg. schedule a meditation session everyday or pamper yourself, eat your favourite food, get in bed with tons of people); still aim at greatness, live your life like you wanted it to read it if it was a book - and try to see good in everything to be happen in fortune and misfortune.
