Happiness is very simple so you have to make it simple, really really simple. People can't become happy because they can't appreciate what they have, they are focus on what is lacking in their lives.
Make it simple and make it bigger once you're comfortable with that simplicity. For example, you define your happiness as simply being with your family and earning a pretty decent income. Now, if you can achieve that happiness everyday, you will become bored. It's time to set a new simple goal that will make you happy, it can be building a small business or buying a house or simply elevating your social status a little bit. Keep in mind that if you can't achieve those goals, you don't need to get sad because you were already happy before, you can always go back to what gives you happiness before and that is being with your family and earning a pretty decent income. You have nothing to lose if you can appreciate what you have.
It's ok to look for something else that will give you more happiness but don't ever feel bad if you can't get those things, you can always go back to what gives you real happiness before.
The truth is... you don't need to get something just to become happy, you can draw the state from within, you can control your emotions, you can always do that. Just look around you and you will become happy. You have clothes, you have money, you have true people that truly loves you and that is your family. You only become sad by being greedy, there is nothing wrong in being ambitious but don't cry like a little bitch if you can't have what you don't have. Happiness is simply being appreciative. Again, you can dream for more but if you can't have it now then don't make it a big deal. You always have more, you have nothing when you were born so what is the point of feeling less?
Don't look at other people, don't get jealous of what they have. You can define your own happiness, no one can define it for you. It can be a simple progress, a simple exercise, a simple calling a friend that you miss so much, a simple get together with friends, a simple visiting your grand parents, you can always achieve happiness if you want to. You are the one who is complicating it, make it simple and you will achieve more of it.
