Does Happiness Have Intrinsic Value?

The definition of intrinsic is actually defined as the inherent worth of something, independent of its value to anyone or anything else. And Happiness is a state of pleasure and/or the showing of contentment. I do not think that happiness has any intrinsic value because that would mean that you can experience happiness with out any outside influence or only within itself. And in almost all cases happiness always happens because of an external source that makes a person or group happy. Happiness has probably the opposite of intrinsic value known as extrinsic value, which would make a person happy through an outside source. An example of this would be, if you got a gift you would be happy, making the gift an outside source, which then the gift would make you happy. It would be practically Impossible for Happiness to have Intrinsic value because without any outside influence, what kind of emotions would a person possibly have?
