I just try to survive day by day
If you try to be good, you might be good and, sometimes, happy. If you strive to be happy, you are unlikely to be good and you will rarely be happy, either.

Lol. Why is this so true? The less I worry about myself and my needs and worry about what others need, I’m happier and more at peace. Can’t explain it.

If you're properly habituated to yoke emotive happiness to flourishing, you get to be both. We should really teach people it's totally possible to be both consistently.

I don't believe it's possible to be either flourishing or happy continually. If you believe it is possible then what is going wrong at times when you are neither?

I use to strive to be happy. I had depression and low self worth. Now I strive to be the best at what I do, and its makes me happy, I haven't had depression, and I have a high sense of self worth.

Then you're striving to achieve something you likely define as "good".
