Just be yourself. If people don't you, tell em to get lost. As for happiness, do what you enjoy, and help other people out. I try to do at least one good deed for someone else a day. Your good karma will come back to you. Hug someone! Volunteer! Do yoga! Smile!
Happy Thanksgiving!

I took your question(s) seriously but it's too general:
Influence people for what?..To make money?..To run for office?
To make friends?
So too with "a life well lived" and "remaining happy"
What is it, exactly, that YOU want?
You can start off by first and always being TRUE TO YOURSELF.
Then observing those people and situations that you find attractive and try to follow these models of life and conduct...but always stay TRUE TO YOURSELF...
PS: for example, I'm happy trying to answer your question at this very moment, but when the sun come up I'll be outdoors doing something just as satisfying...I do what I HAVE TO DO and when I have free time I DO WHAT I WANT TO DO...and I'm satisfied at all times because I'm doing my best...but that's ME...What about YOU?

Why do you want to influence people ? Dont be a Dale Carneggie. Influencing people will not make you happy not make them happy, it will only bore them. It wont make you live life well also. So enjoy life as it is. Just influence yourself and your parents, children Husband, that what you are doing has a purpose.

Girl, take one at a time. One question at one time.
I just love to answer the last one: you can remain happy if you live your life with an open mind and a big heart. When other people do you wrong, think that you can do wrong on them too. So, forgive them. If you are in bad situation or condition, think that : it can be a punishment for you might do wrong things, whether you realize it or not, it can be a warning that you will not continue do wrong things, or it can be a test that it might uplift you to be a better happier person. So, accept it.

You can influence people by:
1/ Give them nice comments, but try to mean it
2/ Find out what really interests them and learn a bit about it then start a conversation
3/ Show a bit of your real self, make them feel that you can be both strong and vulnerable (i.e. a real person)
4/ Never say you were too busy if you hadnt had a chance to meet or call, but dont lie either.

By setting yourself up to be a good example of living life well and being happy. Because, ultimately, happiness loves company. Living life to your fullest potential. Not too obsessed with material possessions or trappings. Being practical , a pragmatist.
Being liberal -minded. Assuming a non-judgmental attitude. Seeking and finding the good in everybody. Seeing the positiveness in most situations. Showing respect to your elders and everybody else around you Keeping your promises. Being trustworthy and dependable. By being honest and above all, forgiving.
A smile and a cheerful disposition is infectious. Happiness in life would be attained in terms of achievements, accomplishments and inclusion of God as an integral part of your life. Looking and accepting the good in everybody.
However, you must also remember, that everybody's entitled to live their own lives according to their percepts. That's their basic right. " Live and let Live " is my guiding principle. in life.
Respect, honor and trust are the next lofty tenets in life to achieve. Then of course there's love. One must love himself or herself before he or she can love another.
Your life should be one of reliency. Able to bend with the winds. Able to sustain that courage and compassion in trying times of stress and difficulties. Able to change things or attitudes for the better. Adapting to the situation at hand. And accepting things that couldn't be changed.

You can only influence people when you accept one thing as certain and that is: You cannot change a person, a person must be willing to change.......
You can open yourself up to them, as your personality will do the talking.......
If you and the other party are like minds, you will have no problem.....

There are lot of ways to influence people. For example you can do little favours and people would be thankful and do anything for you
But think first do you really want to influence somebody? It can be dangerous

Just show them howhappy it makes you. You probably have already influenced many many people by your spirit. I can tell its good by your question and desire for others to be happy.

True great people never care about fame.
