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.”

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.

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.
