Happiness
If you see happiness as a goal, then you're doing it wrong.

You may very well be right. So what is your suggestion?
EDIT: Please be specific. No pithy one liners.
Think of happiness as the car you drive in, instead of a destination.
Can't really get anymore specific than that, because happiness is on the same level as taste. Just figure out what makes you happy, then do it on a daily basis.
I believe INTJs (particularly the emotionally devoid kind) hold the key to the meaning of life. Thus begins my search for a higher truth.

My life goal is to work as little as possible while maximizing gains.
Then how is he doing it wrong if he sees happiness as a goal?
You've basically said the same thing.
No one views happiness as some kind of destination. That doesn't make sense. Happiness is a continual thing.
What if I say my goal is continual happiness?

I hate getting all INTP on people, but...
Definitions of goal:
the state of affairs that a plan is intended to achieve and that (when achieved) terminates behavior intended to achieve it;
finish: the place designated as the end (as of a race or journey);
When you are using the word "goal", its definition applies all the same no matter what you add after it.
May I suggest you use "way" instead of "goal" in order to convey your thoughts in a more precise manner?
You like to wait for things after they occur?
