9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your Life


Gordon B. Hincley

1. Be Grateful

Being grateful puts you in a better mood. Meanwhile focusing on what makes you happy, appreciate it. Whatever comes your way you should appreciate it no matter what and be thankful for it. You should be grateful for everything that is around you. If your usual attitude is to be grateful you'll have many positive things coming your way. And happiness isn't about always getting what you want. It's about loving what you have and being grateful for it. An example of someone being grateful is for how smart they are at anything they can do. Another example would be for being able to get what they need because not everyone can have that handed to them or they struggle to get it, and everyone should be grateful for what it is. No one's life can be perfect but they're still grateful for it.


" Choosing to be positive and having grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life. " - Joel Osteen









2. Be Smart

Being smart doesn't necessarily mean to always get things right. It's more like getting to understand the things around you, being intelligent. Something that would be a matter of intelligence would be based on a persons creativity. Maybe even common sense would be a function of smartness and be hampered by intelligence. I think smartness comes around more easily impressive than intelligence, but perhaps intelligence allows for more flexibility. Being smart is a contextual reference of an individual's quality of approaching tasks in a strategic, well thought manner. and executed as per plan. The reference to someone's smartness usually carries a positive connotation. 


" We should all feel confident in our intelligence. By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it. " - Tabatha Coffey



3. Be Involved in Good Works

Being involved with things makes you look good. You enjoy participating with good things maybe for a good cause you're involved. Many people have their reasons to be involved. Some want to be involved because they just like the idea of being there for anyone no matter what, even if they don't know them. It can be a complete stranger and they'll get involved with helping them with whatever it is they need help with. Its doing that out of a good heart. Some like being involved because it makes them look good and they want a good reputation. No matter what there is a reason behind it all and that person has a good heart and is grateful for how things turn out for them in time. 


" When you do good work, people will notice you. " - Ram Kapoor











4. Be Clean

Being clean can mean to be organized with things that are handed to you. It is not to only stay clean physically yourself like always showering and that, but it's about being organized yourself. Keeping everything in its place but neat will be the best or actually fix them around to make it seem as if you have more personal space. Using calendars could be a great idea to have everything planned out and being up to date. Having a reminder on your phone for upcoming events can help a lot since you get notifies for what is coming around in the hour. Write them down in a planning book to help you if you don't really keep up with the newest and latest styles of technology to help remind. By being clean can mean spending the right amount of hours on something you're doing. Multitasking can probably help in a situation where you are needed to do more than one in whatever it is that you have to do. For whatever decision you choose to make always be organized and clean about it no matter what you choose to do first or last.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. " - John Wayne 




5. Be True

Being true means to be honest with everybody and to yourself. Lying shouldn't be the thing at the top of your mind because it's wrong to do and you can get caught up with it. You have to be true to yourself for most to get an accomplishment out of something. Something good for yourself. Being true to other makes them trust you and they will be able to go to you for a favor or any advice or anything. You being trustworthy will make you a better person. Others will be able to agree with that since they are seeing it too, seeing you doing great and living a better and trusting lifestyle.

6. Be Positive

Being positive is like having good energy and always wanting to help others. You want to help others like if it isn't an option for you. You just do it because you're always positive and that's something you enjoy doing. You always have something to say and it is positive for anything. Being positive also hopes for you to make positive decisions for yourself and hopefully you influence others on your positivity and they follow to be as positive as you. Having positive energy can change a whole person and pass onto someone who isn't having that great of a day. That person catches on some of that positivity you have. If you don't succeed in something it's fine just stay positive about it and know that you at least tried the best that you can and always look foward to what's next because that can be the best.

" Positive anything is better than negative nothing. " - Elbert Hubbard




7. Be Humble

Being humble is shows a good character in someone. Being humble is like being respectful, self-effacing, modest, diffident, and unassuming. You're respectful to everyone that is around you. And to things that aren't yours. You borrow something you give it back to that person you borrowed it from the way they gave it to you. You taking care of it shows you respect for things. Having respect is a big thing, many people aren't respectful at all. And it shouldn't be that way at all because that is a big important thing that everyone should have and be doing. There is nothing wrong with being a humble person and showing respect. It is way better than not caring.

8. Be Still

Being still means that you do things little by little you have to have patience. Being calm is also a big part of being still because if you're all over the place plans you have for the future might turn out different from what you had sorted out. Being still can also be a blend of meditation and focus.

9. Be Prayerful 

Final Reflection :
These are all the ways to be. You can be whatever and whoever you want as long as you're doing the right thing and you learn from those things that you are doing. Always follow within good footsteps and never choose what is wrong. If so get your way out of it, be true about it. But you shouldn't follow those bad steps be humble. Don't be negative about something wrong that you did. It's fine to go through that but never think negative about it. Get on the positive side.

" There they are, nine Be's which, if observed, will bring handsome dividends to any young man or woman. They will ass 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 to deflect you from your course.  
They will bring you friends of your own kind. They will protect you from associations that would pull you down and deflect you from your course.
This is a time to be happy. This is a time to feel joy and make friends and enjoy the best this life has to offer. What I have tried to put forth ....  are simply a few suggestions, gained from many years of living, to help you do just that. The world will tell that certain kinds of things will bring you happiness - things such as popularity and possessions and satisfying your baser desires. 
If today you find yourself only drifting as a leaf in a stream, get a hold of yourself and determine what 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 halt as the brakes gripped the wheels. We looked out the window on the other side. There was a mangled car. Police cars soon converged, followed by the ambulance. The boy and the 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 ways 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."
