Happiness seems to require a modicum of external prosperity.

Anything you're good at contributes to happiness.

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.
