You are in search of one thing: happiness. Whatever your actions are in this world they are motivated by the desire to be happy.
Even when you are miserable sometimes, you may indulge in that misery because you are attached to the feeling, or attached on some level to complaining or gaining sympathy from others about it, which gives you satisfaction on some level.
Even when you do something seemingly unselfish and giving, it is because you feel the satisfaction or happiness that arises from it.
Your actions therefore are motivated by two factors and two factors alone: the desire to be happy and the desire not to be unhappy.
