Man is not too happy about where he is, usually. He wants to go somewhere, usually to Heaven. It's a different matter that he may end up in Hell in most cases, if these two institutions actually exist.
But the point is, even if they do exist, why the urge/hurry to meet the Maker? Why not be happy where you are, and make the most of a life-after all, you are not an insect, or a worm...and even they have some choices about what they want to do.
If you want to create Heaven around you, first thing to do is to be happy yourself. This may sound paradoxical, as people think you become happy by going there. I would argue the reverse. Because if you are happy, it causes happiness around in most cases. People around you smiling makes for heaven right here, where you are.
And material circumstances may not matter too much in this thing. I have seen happy people everywhere-from vegetable vendors pushing a cart to kids playing in the dirt or diving into a lake or river or a rain puddle with abandon. Blaming something/someone for what you don't like is easily done, but does not get you anywhere. Change things if you can. If not, change yourself. Like yourself. Be happy. That's all there is to it.

First get rid of all handbaskets in your house. I heard somewhere that most people go to hell in one. You might be able to avoid that fate.
Yes, and brooms too? Witches and wizards must be flying to Hell on those?
