9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your Life
Gordon B. Hinckley
- Be Grateful
To me being grateful is to be happy about what you have. Many people out there may not have what you have and may wish to have some things that you have. Always be grateful for the small things or big things that you have in life. Be grateful and appreciate what you have. We should wake up each day and be grateful for another day of living. Whatever life throws at you accept it and be grateful about it. Also be grateful for the people you have in your life and have helped you.2. Be Smart
To be smart is to think about the good thing be smart about what you think. "Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose." - Bill Gates Which means that just because you are smart doesn't mean you can't lose anybody can lose. We should all just be smart about what we do. Be smart about what you say. What i will do is just think about what seems smart.
3. Be involved in good works Be involved in good works is to always be into good things for you. Join anything that is good for you, you can learn from it as well. When you do good work people notice it. You can push yourself to do good work. When you do good work you can share what you have done with others. Do good work and people will notice what you are doing and can probably join you. "You only do good work when you're taking risks and pushing yourself." What i will do is try to be involved in good work for myself.
4. Be
clean
Being clean is to stay clean and always stay
clean in every way. Think about what you are going to say or do. Always do
what is best for you don’t go off doing what others tell you to do. Stay clean
in every way you can be clean about everything. “There are those who love to
get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those
who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice
at night. There are those who do both, they drink tea.” It’s simple you just
always have to be clean.
5. Be True
Being true is always staying true with everything. To never say anything if its not true. Be true to yourself and to everyone around you. Stay True to everything. Be true to yourself never go by anybody else or change for anybody else. Never lie about anything big or little. "It's important to be true to yourself and your vision." Always believe in yourself and don't let anybody change your mind or what you see just because they see something different than you.
6. Be Positive
To be positive is to always think good about the situation.
Always think positive about yourself
just simply any situation you are in. Positive
anything is better than negative nothing. When
you wake up every day, you have two choices. You can either be positive or
negative; an optimist or a pessimist. I choose to be an optimist. It's all a
matter of perspective. I
think that when you are positive about anything it shows that you are confident
about yourself. Never be negative or think negative about the situation you are
in believe in yourself you can get more things done that way. Anything is
possible if you have the mindset and the will to desire to do it and put the time
in. Showing positive actions can also make others around you want to be
positive about anything. We should encourage anybody that you see that is being
negative to always think positive and be positive. 7. Be Humble
Being humble is having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. Be grateful about what you have. Never be afraid about the mistakes you make admit your mistakes. Avoid bragging don't brag about something you have. Appreciate the talents and qualities of others. Stop comparing yourself to others just be you. Every individual is unique. Appreciate people for who they are as human beings, not for their skills and appearance in relation to yours.Instead of simply saying you are humble and as a person you will make mistakes, you should also concentrate on living with that mindset being humble is a way of life, not a one time action. Compliment others help people out. Listen more than you talk. Learn to admit when you are wrong and don't allow your pride to allow you to feel that your actions are justified. Be loving and kind hearted at all times you never know when someone might need to reach out to you. Be kind and considerate. Help others out and let them know you are there for them. "The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is."8. Be still
Being still is to just stay still 7 let everything that needs to happen, happen. I assume it means to be at a stable point in your life, and having everything together. Having everything together and being prepared, means being responsible, and caring about yourself. No one in the world is going to care about you like you do for yourself. Being still is to just be yourself have everything together stay true to everything. "Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen that stillness becomes a radiance." - Morgan Freeman. To me this quote means that you just have to be you and let things happen because everything happens for a reason. We have to accept when things happen because they were going to end up happening sooner or later. Everyone should just be themselves and not try to be something they are not. Everything takes time, just be still and let life happen. 
9. Be Prayerful
An action or event characterized by or expressive of prayer.
