Happy living is possible when both the physical and spiritual needs are fulfilled. In the first instance, you need to be free from the want of food, shelter and security. Then comes your spiritual satisfaction. The latter is possible by controlling the mind. A mind free from fear and anxiety is the dwelling house of peace. Peace is happiness. No amount of wealth can really bring happiness, unless the mind is under control. For the purpose of satisfying your physical needs, of course, you need to work hard; and for the mental control, you need to cultivate a right attitude to life. For those, control of has not been achieved, naturally, there are techniques, through practises of Yoga, it can be achieved.

What It Really Takes to Be Happy
JEHOVAH, “the happy God,” and Jesus Christ, “the happy and only Potentate,” know best of all what it takes to be happy. (1Â Timothy 1:11; 6:15 - Thus, it comes as no surprise that the key to happiness is found in God’s Word, the Bible.—Revelation 1:3; 22:7.
In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus describes what it takes to be happy. He states: “Happy are those” who (1)Â are conscious of their spiritual need, (2)Â mourn, (3)Â are mild-tempered, (4)Â hunger and thirst for righteousness, (5)Â are merciful, (6)Â are pure in heart, (7)Â are peaceable, (8)Â are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, and (9)Â are reproached and persecuted for his sake.—Matthew 5:3-11.
In a nutshell: Avoid “the works of the flesh,” and cultivate “the fruitage of [God’s] spirit.” To be happy, one needs to yearn to have a close relationship with God. A person who strives to attain this will fit Jesus’ description of a happy person.
Therefore, do not mistakenly conclude that happiness is beyond your reach. Granted, at present you may be lacking good health. You may be struggling to find a successful career. Maybe your wallet is not so full as it used to be. Nevertheless, take courage; you have no reason to despair. God’s Kingdom rule will solve these problems and hundreds more. Indeed, soon Jehovah God will make good on his promise expressed by the psalmist: “Your kingship is a kingship for all times indefinite . . . You are opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing.” (Psalm 145:13, 16.)

Way to live happiest life is first of all retire from job. Take ur loved ones with you and go for tour for a week or month. Try to learn yoga if u want healthy life and meditate regularly if you want satisfaction of mind and a prosperous life.
