It offers substantial grounds for how your proposed plethora of essential components in defining your happiness. I believe it is not mandatory to agree with the scholars on the definition of happiness and ways of maintaining it in life. Such a potential remains well reflected in your post as your reasoning remains grounded on your sincere thoughts, which in its way serves as a vital way of achieving some peace of mind thus happiness in the long run. I congratulate you. However, I also believe Aristotle makes sense when he associates happiness with being moral.

Proper reasoning allows a person to remain moral in all their deeds; thus, whatever they acquire in life remains in line with the set rules/regulations and laws, forming a solid basis of a long-lasting form of happiness.
