I find myself happier when I act more kindly to others. In addition, lowering suffering/increasing happiness are pretty close to terminal values for me.

You say

I find myself happier when I act more kindly to others.

Yet you said earlier that

How can I get more enjoyment out of alleviating others suffering and giving others happiness?

Does this mean that you feel that you do enjoy it but not "enough" in some sense and you want to enjoy it even more?

Correct, it is enjoyable but I wish to make it more so. Hence why I used "more".
