9 ways to be happy and make something of your self

                                             Gordon B. Hinckley

1.Be grateful-  Being grateful  is when you don’t have nothing and are still grateful. Being grateful is showing gratitude for something or someone. It is important because you recognize that sometimes you can’t do this alone and there is always someone there to help you out.  Being grateful doesn’t only come when you give thanks to someone but you also give thanks when you don’t have as much as another person has but are still very grateful for the things you have.

“Be grateful for the small things, big things, and everything in between. Count your blessings, Not your problems.”

2.Be Smart-being smart is not only being smart like in school but also in your life decisions you make .It’s also knowing you have a side were your not all that smart. It’s not being smart but acting smart. Being smart is not only what you yourself know but take into consideration other people’s ideas and thoughts and learn new things.

“Intelligence will never stop being beautiful”

3.Be involved in good works-Being involved in good works is for example being involved In school like clubs or sports but also being involved in good works is like being involved with good. For example like good feelings or good thoughts or a good attitude. Doing good in school at work in a sport pretty much anywhere you can be involved in good works

“Good work takes hard work”

4.Be clean-to be clean is not only keeping a good hygiene but also trying to stay away maybe from negativity or anything that can “dirty” you emotionally or spiritually. Like for example we take showers to be clean as possible we can do good things to stay clean emotionally and spiritually. Like when you take a shower it helps you have a good appearance well keeping clean spiritually and emotionally will help you feel good about yourself because you know you’re doing the right thing.

“Who are you to judge the lifer I live? I know I’m not perfect and I don’t have to be but before you start pointing fingers… make sure your hands are clean!”

5.Be True-Being true is being true to others but to yourself also. Being true to yourself is for example being yourself when you fake someone that you’re not your only lying to yourself. Be true to you because there are a few people out there who will be true to you . Being true to others is being loyal to them is being respectful and trustworthy. It doesn’t take a lot to be true to someone or even to yourself when you are true to yourself you start to love yourself and the people around you.

“keep it simple, keep it honest, keep it you”

6.Be Positive-Being positive is very important in life. It not only helps you over come obstacles but it helps you become a better person it helps you be happier in life because your not focusing on the negativity. It is sometimes hard to stay positive in certain situations because you feel like there is no positive side to a hard situation or you want to know the reason why its happening to you but there is always a positive side to everything..

“Every day may not be good but there’s something good in everyday”

7.Be Humble-to be humble is to help others when they are in need to be humble is to not take too much pride into yourself sure it’s good to have pride in yourself but not be arrogant either because you still had to work to get to where you are now just like another person that you might look down upon is doing the same thing no one should think there higher than the other person and put them down we all do the same thing to get what we want and that is work hard.

“Be humble you could be wrong”

8.Be Still-be still is to not worry to be peaceful within yourself and know that everything is ok and to stand firm and not let any bad situation trouble you because that what keeps you up at night and brings you down, know that everything will be ok. Have Pease in you because that’s the only way you don’t feel restless. Have patience and piece don’t let anything disturb your soul.

Be still and know that I am God – psalm 46:

9.be prayerful

          Commitment

Definition: the state of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc.

Quote: “Commitment is pushing yourself when no one else is around”

What I think this quote means is that when your comited to something you accept no excuses no negativity no nothing only results even when there is no one there for you or who believes in you, you become comited because the thing you want just became more needed and important to you. For example like in a sport it takes a lot of commitment to be in a sport you have to commit your heart into not only the good parts but the hard parts also. Being interested in something is a whole different thing you only do it when its convenient for yourself but when your comited your ambitious you know exactly what you want and you will not let anyone stop you. No matter how hard the situation gets you have to stay commited.

                   A Smile J

Definition: Form one's features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed. 

Quote: “I have many problems in my life. But my lips don’t know that” – Charlie Chaplin

What I think this quote is trying to say is that no matter how many problems you have in life you always have to smile no matter what even if it’s a fake smile it still feels good to smile it shows you and other people you wont let your problems bring you down. Some people need your smile. Smiling just makes you feel warm inside and reassures you that everything is ok. Be that smile in someone else’s life. Turn that frown upside down! J

                                      Disciplined

Definition: showing a controlled form of behavior or a way of working.

I think being disciplined is a very important thing because it teaches you that when you do something bad there will be consequences it teaches you how to respect others. For example lets say you have a child and they do something bad like disrespecting someone or stealing something. You have to discipline that child not always by spanking them but teaching them and if they keep on doing it then that when the spanking comes in , I believe in spanking a child because that’s how I was raised , NOT abuse either. Its good to be disciplined even though it gets annoying but it teaches you what is right from wrong. It doesn’t also just have to do with correcting someone else but also yourself. Even if you don’t want to do something you have to do it for example wake up for work its not easy but you have to discipline yourself.

   

      "Decisions Determine Destiny”

I think what this quote is trying to say is that the decisions that you make determine your future for example if you make a bad decision like doing drugs or not caring about school it’ll affect your life for the worse like not getting enough money or not accomplishing your dream because even the badest people have dream, But if you make good decisions like doing good in school or being good or at least trying to be good it’ll make your life better and set you in the right path to a good destiny.

                     Caring

Definition: Displaying kindness and concern for others

Quote: “people who hide their feelings usually care the most”

Well from my personal self I relate to this quote as im sure many people do also. I tend to hide my feelings a lot for the sake of not getting hurt. It comes off as “cold hearted” to a lot of people but in reality I care the most its just the part of getting hurt is what holds people back to show that they care. Because they once cared to much but for the wrong person but we shouldn’t let one person stop us from showing that we care because sometimes the other person needs that affection they need to know someone cares about them thats when you have to be the “hero” for someone else and not just for yourself.

 

            Boldness

Definition: Not hesitating in the face of actual or possible danger or rebuff; courageous and daring.

Quote: “boldness is a mask for fear, however great”

What this quote is saying is that whenever your in fear you have to face the fear and be bold its like no matter how much you’re scared and pretend that your bold its actually a great thing because your facing that fear, your not letting that fear intimidate you. Its knowing or feeling you cant do it but you do it anyway because its better to do it than to keep quite.
