9 Ways to be happy and make something of your life
Gordon B. Hinckley
1. Be grateful
Be grateful is something very important in life.I learn being grateful when i was small every time i would receive a gift i would say thank you. When your grateful i feel like your full of happiness and you start to feel good about yourself. Life is only one time you only like live once so be grateful for the things you have and the things you dont have. Being mean about the things you dont have doesn't take you no where. When you are grateful life for you will seem bright and full of happiness. Be grateful for all the obstacles in your life. They have strengthened you as you continue with your journey. My life is not perfect but im grateful for everyone and everything i have.
2.Be Smart
Being smart is important in life but some people are not that smart. But they could either paint good you dont have to be so smart to be someone in life. Yes, being smart is good because in college its going to be easy for you. But just cause you might not be so smart you shouldn't feel sad because you might do things other people cant do .
3.Be Involved
Being involved makes you a better person. Also being involved in your community is good because you are more aware of whats is going on in your area. Knowing what you could do to make your community a better place and by speaking out. Also you could get involved in your school by letting your classmates know whats going on and how you can your school a better place.
4.Be Clean
Being clean for me means that you dont do drugs or anything that is bad. Being clean is important because you try to find a job and they do you a drug test and its positive you would not get the job because they would not want someone that does drugs.
5.Be True
Being true is important because if you say the true is why better because then you feel good about yourself.And if you lie then you would feel like you did something wrong and all day you would be feeling bad.
6.Be Positive
Being positive gets you through life because when your mind is positive most likely things would go a good way and your day. Also when your positive you dont get so stress out and you would also be in a better mood, when your positive good things would come your way .
7.Be Humble
Being humble is important you're never to important to be nice to people. Just be the kind of a person that you want others to be, be kind, be humble and others will follow.Some thing important you should say everyday " Lord, no matter how high I go please let me never forget how low I once was, let me always have helping hands and a humble heart". You should always remember that no matter what. The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself, but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of you greatness is.
8. Be still
Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen that stillness becomes a radiance. In order to understand the dance one must be still. And in order to truly understand stillness one must dance. Sometimes you need to stay still and enjoy the view.
9. Be prayerful
The way to be anxious about nothing is to be prayerful about everything

This could also help you be a better person and they are really easy things to do its not hard to be nice or even have a nice day.
