Our religion, key to life

I didn't know where to post this.
Our religion is beautiful. They say we must have done something exceptional in our past lives to be able to be Ismaili's. We have a religious guide, we have it all. Through our religion, we can overcome so many difficulties, we can acquire such happiness (if we know what we are doing, that is). I did not know this until about a year ago. I didn't know everything our religion had to offer. I am in my teenage years, and I'm extremely thankful that I've realized at this age. I see many people that are not benefiting from our religion, they are going through so much difficulties. I now think to myslef, if only they knew. Some of them being part of my family. How can I convince them that they should start getting involved in our faith? They won't listen to me as I'm younger. I was having a difficult time with my life, then one day I began to get involved with our faith. I began saying Dua regularly, paying attention to farmans and FOLLOWING them and through all this my life became a lot better and easier. I know that there are many things which you get happiness from, but I only know a few; regularity in Dua, JK, doing seva, singing ginans, and bandagi. What I want to know is, what other things can you aquire such happiness from? (Besides what I have listed) What other things can you do to help improve your life, help make things easier? I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people on this website. I would really appreciate it if you could share some of that knowledge with me. Thank You.
