The 9 Ways
9 Ways to be happy and Make Something of your Life
Gordon B. Hinckley
1. Be Grateful
Being grateful is a way to show kindness and respectfulness. It shows that you are very appreciative of what you have. When you are grateful, you feel good as well as the other person.
2. Be Smart
To be smart means to know what you are doing. It shows that you are very creative and can use brain effectively. Many people who are successful in life are also very smart. You can't be successful and be lazy or clueless. That is why school is important because you can learn important things to help you out as you get older. An example of being smart is choosing the right friends. For example would you want to be friends with people who use drugs or be friends with people who are respectful and intelligent? The smart choice would be the people who are respectful and intelligent. Being smart isn't a physical or spiritual things, but rather a mental thing. You have to educate your brain to be smart. You have to think which is the right choice. That is what it takes to be smart.
3. Be Involved
To be involved means to participate on the task at hand. It shows that you are a hard worker and good listener. You have to try your hardest at all times. Being involved also means to pay attention and know what you are doing. An example of being involved is when you are on a sports team and the coach gives you a specific role. You have to be involved and participate to help your team win. This also means not doing drugs and eating healthy.
4. Be Clean
To be clean means to be organized, look your best, and use appropriate language. Every room you go to should always look clean and organized. You should also always clean yourself by taking a shower and looking your best at all times. Another way to be clean is to use appropriate language. This means to not cuss and to only use appropriate and clean language. An example of being clean is someone who always is organized, takes showers daily, and uses clean language. Someone who isn't clean is always messy, never cleans themselves, and always cusses.
5. Be True
To be true means to stay true to yourself and always say the right thing. This also means to never tell a lie. Always tell the truth and don't hang out with the wrong people. To be true means to always choose the right and don't do drugs.
6. Be Positive
To be positive means to be kind and always be in a good mood. You need to also be a caring person and treat everyone equally. An example of this is being nice to someone like helping someone carry heavy objects. A non example of this is if you start to talk back to your parents. You have to be a positive person in order to be successful in life. Don't be a negative person and don't think about the things that can go wrong. Instead be positive and always see the light at the end of the tunnel.
7. Be Humble
To be humble means to not brag about yourself and show respect to others. This means to not put yourself above anyone else. An example of this is saying that you are not perfect and that you have flaws. A non example of this is saying that you are the greatest and no one will ever be beat you. Being humble also means to not make fun of someone. My favorite quote of being humble is "Sit down, Be humble"- Kendrick Lamar. You also need to have a humble attitude to be successful in life.
Don't talk down about someone saying you are better because at the end of the day, everyone has their flaws. A humble person is someone who is confident but also doesn't brag about themselves too much. Humbleness is needed to be happy in your life.
8. Be Still
To be still in the english language means to stop moving. However, The Hebrew definition means to surrender, or to let go. In the bible, God tells his people to be still, meaning that he is going to defend them. He tells them this because he wants them to rest while he provides strength and safety.
9. Be Prayerful
To be prayerful means to believe in something and pray. Make sure you show respect to that hiearchey.
