Way to Be

9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your life

Gordon B. Hinckley

 1. Be Grateful

Quote:

Most of us never stop to consider our blessings; rather, we spend the day only thinking about our problems. But since you have to be alive to have problems, be grateful for the opportunity to have them.

-Bernie Siegel

Reflection:

I chose the quote because it’s saying to stop and be grateful about the stuff you have, to not worry about all the problems and just to be grateful for even being alive. Being grateful about things can really say a lot about a person in a positive way. 

2. be smart

Reflection:

Being smart can get you a lot of places. It can make you be the most successful person in the world or it can make the most evil. Being smart can go a lot of ways. For example a lot of really bad people are very smart ones. Very wealthy people are also very smart, that or very talented.

Quote:

“A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.”

-John C. Maxwell

3. Be involved in Good Works

Reflection:

To be involved in good works is to always have something positive to do and that will help you become successful for example joining a school sport. It’ll make you want to have good grades because without it you can’t play the sport.

Quote:

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

-Elbert Hubbard

3) Be clean

Reflection:

Being clean doesn’t just mean to keep yourself clean  it mean to keep everything clean, your vocabulary, the way you think, etc. It means not to cheat on anything. It means to do everything at 100% honesty.  Be clean, be honest is basically what it means in this sense. I want to add one more thing stay drug free, you can also be clean in that sense.

Quote:

“Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”

-John Muir

I will apply this by never cheating, copying or doing anything of that sort. I will earn everything honestly.

5. Be True

Reflection:

To be true is to be honest. It means to do everything truthfully, to not be a liar. It is saying to be 100 with everything you do, to earn everything honestly.

Quote:

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

-Dr. Seuss

6. Be Positive

Reflection:

Being positive is always thinking the best of everything. If you have a positive mind set then you’ll probably have positive outcomes of everything you want in life. If you’re a negative person things will probably not go the way you want them to. I know that from experience.  Be positive and always do things for the best, don’t think negatively and think everything will turn out to be the way you wanted them too although with a bit of luck it can happen.

Quote:

“Positive anything is better than negative nothing.”

-Elbert Hubbard

Picture:

I will apply this by always keeping my thoughts good and clear of negative energy, I will always think of the positive and never the negative.
7. Be humble
8. Be Still
9. Be Prayerful
Reflection:
I will use the 9 ways by doing exactly what they mean. i will be respectful, follow orders, and stay positive no matter how things get. I will get through everything honestly and not lie about anything. What I earn it will be honestly.

Commitment

Definition:

An engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action.

Quote:

Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there.

-Haile Gebrselassie

Reflection:

I think that this attribute is great because committing to something mean you’ll stick to it no matter what. A lot of people don’t have that skill, they give up when stuff gets hard. It is not a good thing because then you’ll be like that your whole life which can have devastating consequences. If you like something push through it when it gets hard and it’ll pay off, do that even with things you don’t like.

Obedience

"The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."

-Boyd K. Packer

Reflection:
I chose obedience because without it people and anything else would basically be savages. The definition seems almost like if its describing a slave or something but that is pretty much what it mean without being so harsh. Obeying might get people far in life like they might own their own business one day because of following instructions for so long that they know how to get things done. If you obey teachers for example they might start like to like you and they might even let you get excused from an assignment.  

This relates to me 100+ Life planning goals because its telling me to be obedient there for I'll get what I want.

Smile

Definition:

Form one's features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed.

Quote:

A smile is happiness you'll find right under your nose.

-Tom Wilson

Reflection:

I think the quote I chose is pretty great. Its saying that you don’t have to look hard for happiness. Anything can make people happy they just don’t know that.

Picture:

Obedience

Definition:
Its noun, its means to obey or to practice obeying. It also means to do as your told and to follow instructions correctly.

Ex:

1)      When your mom tells you to clean something and you do it.

2)      When you follow direction correctly.

911 Memorial

On September 11, 2001 at 8:40 am the Twin Towers in New York were attacked, two planes were high jacked and were crashed into the World Trade Center. Al Qaeda with leader Osama Bin Laden is believed to be behind the attack on the Twin Towers. The amount of people that died that was 2,752. This dad basically changed America because of this Terrorist attack. The first plane to hit the north tower was traveling at 470 Mph and the plane that hit the South tower was traveling at 590 Mph. The South tower in lasted 56 minutes before it collapsed. The north tower collapsed at 10:28 am. At 5:20 another building collapsed. This day was just terrible, hopefully this doesn’t happen again in the U.S.

“Decisions Determine Destiny”

-Thomas S. Monson

Quote:

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped”

-Tony Robbins

Reflection:

The quote I picked was because its saying something very real to me, its saying that everything you decided to do will affect your life in some way for the better or worse. For example I can decide to go out and do everything I’m supposed to and get known as a very good person or I can go out and do everything I’m not supposed to and be known as the worst guy on the planet. Decisions do determine what path you take in life so choose wisely.

How does this quote relate to your 100+ Life Planning Goals?

This quote relates to my 100+ Life Planning Goals because it’s saying whatever I do in life there will be a consequence and like I said before it can be for the better or worst. So everything I do in life I have to be very aware of what is that I’m doing so I don’t get mixed up in something I wasn’t planning to unless it’s a good thing but I do not want to get mixed in something bad that I don’t want to be a part of.

Caring

Definition:

Displaying kindness and concern for others.

Quote:

“Promising too much can be as cruel as caring too little.”

-William J. Clinton

Reflection:

I think this attribute is nice because it is just caring for others.  I chose that quote because it is saying that making too many empty promises is like not caring a lot and people shouldn’t do that.

Picture:

Boldness

Definition:

Courageous and daring

Quote:

The boldness of asking deep questions may require unforeseen flexibility if we are to accept the answers.

-Brian Greene

Reflection:

I think the quote is great because it is saying that even though you don’t like the answer to some questions being bold can help you overcome it.
