                9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your Life

Gordon B. HInkckley

1.) Be Grateful

Some nine way that you could be grateful is by first to start appreciating the thing you have like family and friends. Enjoy life do not let anyone put you down because you also have to learn how to be grateful for yourself that your worth something that people care about you. When you wake up in the morning or when you come home from school don't for get to tell/show your parents how much you appreciate them and are grateful for them, the hard work they have done to be able to take care of you. In order to be grateful about yourself you have to start by respecting and being honest to yourself. You can also start to feel grateful is when you start to make good choices in your life for

example doing better in school, eating, just don thing that put a smile at your end of the day. "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each one of us has cause to think deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." The quote is saying that we all had that time when some one tries to ruin your day just forget about them put them aside. Just don't sweat the small stuff.

2.) Be Smart 

 A smart person does not only have to be mentally smart. What im trying to say that it's great that your smart in school but there's other people that are street smart. Being smart also has to do with the idea and action you do like for example if your friend jumps off a cliff are you going to jump; if you said no that was a smart choice of and if you said yes then you didn't make a smart choice. Being help is also good because you spread your knowledge to other people.

3.) Be Involved in Good Works

Being involved in good works means being able to do the right thing and being able to make correct choices. It also mean being involved in school clubs that get your mind off the bad thing that are going  in your life. When your involved in good work is when you decide to make the right choice like if your plays soccer and you commit a foul you can apologize to the other player and ask him if he's okay.   Another way is by following to rules and not getting in trouble for example not getting into fights, not getting caught cheating, showing respect to your teacher if they respect you back.
"Creativity is a habit, and the best creativity is the result of good work habits" Twyla Tharp. The quote means any thing that means to you as a good work ethic is the best thing that you could be involved in.

                                        4.) Be Clean

Some of the ways that you can be clean is by having a clean environment because for some people it's hard to focus when there room or house. Another way is by having a clean conscience get the things that are bothering you out of your head talk to someone that you can trust or go take a long walk at the park. You can also be clean by making yourself feel good for example if your in a diet and you stay away from eating junk food that keeping a clean diet. Lets say that you have an addiction doesn't have to be drugs for example your addicted to chip you know it's unhealthy for you be you keep eating then so you tell yourself to your going to try to stay clean try not to eat chip anymore.  "Everyone deserves a chance to clean up there mistake." What the quote is trying to say that there's time where you did not make the right choice but sometimes people need a second chance to prove it was a mistake. We all been through that moment were we know we messed up  and we always ask for forgiveness .

                                          5.) Be True
Some ways that you can be true is by being honest to the people that you love. Never tell a lie, there's times that you have to you just have to lie so you wont make the other person feel bad. When you do the right thing you always end up feeling good inside.  The main person that you have to be true to is
```````````````````````yourself because if you are not true to yourself you can become physically and mentally unhealthy.

                                                          6.) Be Positive
To be positive means to always have have good thoughts in your head that tell or reminds you of how you are. By being positive means always have a good mood don't let anyone put your spirit down. Never think about the negative thing always keep your mind positive. Being positive can also mean deal with your work habits because if you have bad habits and you're not positive you can get a lot of stress. "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.'' Helen Keller

7.) Be Humble

Being humble means to be kind hearten, and treating people equally. To be respectful to other  people encourage or motivate them when they're feel blue. It can also be by showing someone you care about or just having as good conversation with them and asking them how there day is going. The opposite of being humble is by making someone feel like thy're worthless that nobody cares about them. To be very disrespectful to him/her. "Never look done on anyone, Only god sits that high."

8.) Be Still

For some people to be still means that they want to let go of the past, and they don't want to see whats ahead for them in the future. To be still can also mean to be patient to try not to rush people

9.) Be Prayerful

Reflection:

All these 9 ways that i was writing about is to help people become a better person. How to spread good vibes to the people around you and teach then not to be salty. When you are a better person or feel like a better person inside you always end up with a smile on your face and you don't care what other people say about you. I'm not saying you have to do all these 9 ways but there just some examples of what make you and the people around you a better person.


The 9 Ways Concluding words by Gordon Hinckley
"There they are, nine Be's which, if observed, will bring handsome dividends to any young man or women. They will add sparkle to your days and peace to your nights. They will save you from heartache and pain. They will bring purpose into your life and give direction to your energies.
They will bring you friends of your own kind. They will protect you from associations that would pull you down pull you down and deflect you from your course.
This is time to be happy. This is a time to feel joy and make friends and the best this life has to offer. What I have tried to put forth .... are simply a few Seggestions, gained from many years of lving, to help you do just that. The world will tell that certain kinds of things will bring you happiness - things such as popularity and possesions and satisfying your baser desires.
\If today you find yourself only drifting as a leaf in a stream, get hold of yourself and determine you will do better.
At railroad grade crossing, signs of warning were once common. Two cross arms were emblazoned with the words, "STOP, LOOK, LISTEN". They meant that a train could be roaring down the tracks and you had better be alert.
 I was riding a train in the Midwest years ago. I looked out the window to my left. A road ran parallel to the tracks. A car with a boy and a girl was speeding down the road a little faster than the train. The car moved ahead until I can no longer see it. Suddenly, the locomotive whistle sounded and the train screeched to a halt as the brakes gripped the wheels. We looked out the window on to the other side. There was a mangled car. Police cars soon converged, followed by the ambulance. The boy and girl were both dead. The road they were traveling crossed the tracks. They did not stop, look, or listen. It all happened in an instant.

The better way to Be is the way of these nine Be’s.

The years will inevitably pass, and pass quickly. Today is your day of resolution. Promise yourself to make something good of (your) precious life."
