How can you expect anything in the world to make you happy if in your inner world you are unhappy? If you find yourself constantly saying, that in order to be happy, you must have this thing or you must have that thing, then make no mistake, you will be unhappy shortly after you get it. Your aching will reappear. Outer happiness starts from the inside. You will find that whatever you have, be it ever so little, you will be completely content. Spiritual happiness does not come in the form of acquiring something, but in fact comes in the form of shedding something, namely your karmic baggage.
