The highest goal would be the one most closely aligned with the meaning of life.

Can you imagine a greater objective?

Yes, I can imagine being completely aligned with the meaning of life if/when I figure out what that is. This could mean I also experience "happiness" but it doesn't have to. For example, if I was taken to lunch by God and he told me all about his plans for humanity and explained to me what my role is, and how at times I will experience a lot of happiness, but at other times I will have to experience some pain, I would be ok with that as long as I knew the pain/happinesss were in line with the overall "plan".
If he told me "I can't tell you what the meaning of life is, but I'll give you a hint in the sense that if you are feeling happy at the time of doing what you're doing, then you're fulfilling your purpose." then I would be ok with that as well.
