Happiness exists inside every healthy person
Whether anyone else can actually make them happy is unclear but we can help remove obstacles to their happiness so that it emerges as their default directory rather than a once in a while grin or laugh.
The objective for all of us is to have a sense of well being, a sense of being wanted, a sense of achievement, and a feeling that we are, at least, capable of being loved.
The role of others in supporting this seems fairly clear. Clear compliments when they're deserved and not just to the individual but in front of others. When compliments are not deserved, they simply irritate and reduce our own credibility.

Out with criticism
Removing criticism of behaviours over which individuals have little or no control or which only irritate the person commented. Reminding people of crooked teeth or a funny walk or an absence of athletic skills or an inability to concentrate is just defeating. If the individual knows they can't do much about their behaviour or capability, the comments can only reduce happiness and encourage people to bury their own feelings.

Include people...make them part of things
Helping people to be part of things, making them feel they're wanted and that they're interesting to be with is a great happiness builder. Loneliness is the enemy of happiness as the sense of isolation and the distance to others destroys self-confidence and self-worth. Showing an interest in activities affirms self-worth and knocks down the barriers to happiness.

Bring the best out of people
Becoming a person who is respected for bringing the best out in people usually leads to the happiness of the individual with a reputation. You help others see their worth and this gives you the kind of life purpose that lets your personal happiness shine through. Most individuals can achieve this if they understand that happiness is not an external event of circuses and balloons but is an internal event that gives people the assurance that they're important to others and cared for by their community. So, have you done some simple acts to make others happy lately? It does not take so much and the joy you feel doing this is much more of a reward. Just try it.
The more you do this, the more energy you’ll have in pursuing your own goals. Besides, isn’t making a difference in someone’ s day enough of a reward? Below is a picture of the lady who asked me to take her picture as I passed by the restaurant she worked in. I obliged immediately and each time I look at that smile, I feel her joy.
