It depends on our understanding. Our mind constantly ask for changes. So when we please the mind by giving it whatever it desires, the happiness is short term. The mind has a tendency to desire something and if that thing is not given it keeps us making plans to get it.
As soon as we get it, it now starts making new plans. In other words, it never gives us the opportunity to enjoy whatever we have got and be in the moment. Because of this nature of mind, majority of happiness is very short term.
Forever lasting happiness is an act that is done by the heart for the benefit of self or others without any expectation in return. Here mind may not even like that particular act, but driven by heart and done in love, such act does give us happiness that lasts forever.
