WAY TO BE

9 Ways to be happy and make something of your life

Gordon B. Hinckley

1) Be Grateful-

     Being grateful means that you have to appreciate everything you got. it doesn't matter if its not as much as everyone else you just got to go with what you got. If you see someone with something you know you cant afford, you don't have to hate you just have to understand that other people are able to have things you may not but later in life you may be able to get those things you've always wanted. You should never be so churlish because those little things that you're able to get are huge blessing because there are other kids in the world who aren't even able to get a decent meal everyday or some who don't have enough food to eat everyday. Those people who are ungrateful don't see meaning in the world. They don't understand that some people struggle to have a pair of clothing or a pair of nice shoes you should always take what you can get and if you want more make sure you work as hard for it as other people so you can value them and not take it for granted.

2) Be Smart-

    To be smart is not all about getting A's in your classes its also about knowing how to say no. When someone offers a person drugs that person if they're smart will automatically say no. Being smart bring so many rewards to you not only scholarships but also you earn the respect and trust of others. Take for example if you ask your parents to go  out that moment when they say yes its because they trust that you will be able to make the smart choice of saying no when someone offers you to join them in doing something you know you aren't supposed to do.

3) Be involved in good works-

    This quote is stating that you should be more involved with good works such as helping your community, helping the homeless or just with simply helping an old lady crossing the street.

4) Be Clean-

Being clean doesn't necessarily mean to keep your room nice or to keep the kitchen pretty it also means that with the work that is provided to you, only you can do the work for it you cant have others do it for you and expect for everything to go smooth. You have to be clean with your actions and play fair. One time or another you will find a blessing from all the hard work you've done.

5) Be True-

This is explaining that being true is to be honest and responsible. 

6) Be Positive-

7) Be Humble-

Being humble means that you show respect and understanding to others.

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.
