9 Ways to be happy and make something of your life

"9 Ways to be happy and make something of your life"

- Gordon .B Hinckley

 Way 1: Be grateful

"Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women."

Being grateful is more important because you have things that other people might not have. An example can be like having food to eat, not all people can afford food. Other things related to this are like school, clothes, food, opportunities for things, and many more. When you are whining for something, think of the people that don't have it. They can be whining because they want what you have.They want an education, clothes, food, things to help live.So keep in mind that you have more advantages than other people  and they don't have much to live with. You can also be grateful for family, your friends, people you love. You can be grateful for anything

Way 2: Be smart

"Train your mind and your hands to become an influence for good as you go forward with your life. Perform excellence."

Being smart means to always do right things. An example of this can be like when you are choosing between something better than whats worst. Never chose something or do something bad for yourself. Be smart and always do whats right, Don't do thing that you will regret. Another example can be when you are with your friends and they want to do something bad but you know you'll get in trouble for doing it. Think to yourself and d whats right for you.

Way 3: Be Involved in Good Works
"Be willing to work, for it will make all the difference in your life"

If you work for something and you succeed it can make a big difference for you in life. If you do something for a reason you can get rewarded for it or maybe get something even better in return. An example can be like if your working for something in particular, it might make a difference in your life. Somethings can impact your life and other things cannot. Depending on the type of thing it is that's how much it will impact your life. Think about it and once you know what to do work hard for it and it will make a difference in your life.

Way 4: Be Clean

"Be clean in every way. Delight in being clean. Relish the challenge of standing above and beyond the base trends of the world. You will never regret it."

What this is saying is to never be messy and to never have your trash on the ground. Or it can mean to always use clean language and not foul language. If you use foul language you will not be good in life. Say you just got a job and you use foul language and always say bad words, it will not be good for you. A reason it wont be good for you is because they can fire you. If they fire you, you wont have a job anymore an you will not win any money. Now your on the search for a job and if you cant find one you cant get money.

Way 5: Be True
"Be true to what is right and fair and honest."

What this is saying is that when you are fair and honest good things will come to you. AN example can be like when you cheat from a test and get someone else in trouble, you can be honest about it and say that you cheated and the other person wont get in trouble anymore. All because you told the truth and you were honest.

Way 6: Be Positive
"There is good all around us--if we will only look for it. When good men and good women face challenges with optimism, things will always work out!"

Being positive is always good. Its good because when you are playing a sport, you have to have a positive attitude and good character. IF you are positive and you do your work, good things will come towards your way and you will be rewarded with something. Depending on what the issue is, the reward is different for every occasion.

Way 7: Be Humble

"Don't be arrogant. The world is full of arrogant people. There is no place for arrogance. There is no place for conceit. There is no place for egotism."

What this is sayings is to always be kind and to always be helpful with others. An example of this can be like when you are taking a test in a class and when your done the teacher tells you to do something quite. That's being humble to your classmates because they could still be taking the test and they need to concentrate so it has to be quite. You cant be disturbing them while taking the test because some people want to do good on the test.

Way 8: Be Still

"Find time to drown out the noise of the world. Take time to think about the kind of person you want to become."

What this is saying it is to take time to think about who you are and what you will become. An example can be like if you want to be a police officer you need to think how you can be one, and how you become one. You have to think about the kinds of things you are going to be doing and and how will you accomplish it.

Way 9: Be Prayerful
"Prayer will change your life. It will bring you peace. It will give you direction and guidance."

What i think about the nine ways is tat that are good pointers on being a new person. You can use them for different thing at different occasions. An example can be when you are going to college and you don't know how to do one of these you, then you are not completely a good person. If you do all of them that you are a good person and you made something of your life. Some of my deepest thoughts on this is that some of them apply to be and now that i see what quotes. It makes me think on how i can improve and do better and sometimes it makes me feel bad because some of them i don't do or i choose the wrong. When i see the quotes i think about how i can be a better person and how i can easily do bad things. If i follow these nine ways i will probably do better things that i used to do and i wont be choosing the wrong. After i heard and wrote about the nine ways i will definitely use them in my future and i will help other people as well. So we can all over come the best of us.
