      9 Ways to be happy and make something of your life

~Gordon B. Hinckley

1. Be grateful  

       To be grateful you must be an active and happy person. The word grateful means: feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful. A quote that represents grateful is,” the vibration of gratitude attracts more positive things into your life.”  An example of grateful would be when someone sees that you are a little bit short on money and someone in the line helps you pay the rest of your groceries. That person is being grateful to you. Be happy.

2. Be Smart
      Anyone in the world is smart and you may think they are not. Being smart makes you be an active person and solve problems like in school situations or class materials. Being smart will help you proceed in life. Why? It will help you in life because when you grow up you might invent something new that no one else ever thought of. Learning new things about vehicles or technology or even how to build a little house, your smartness will lead you there but it takes time and patience and also you need to be disciplined. It’s good to be smart and you need to push yourself if you want 

to be smart.

3. Be involved in Good Works

      When you get involved in good works many great things happen even to you. An example, you see people trying to help put up a poster and they can’t put it where they want it to be. You can help them out by asking “May I help” and for sure they will say yes and that is being part of good works, instead of stealing or doing drugs wasting time and not doing something great in life. Choose the right help those who need it and be grateful.

4. Be Clean

      Being clean is a big responsibility especially if you live alone or have your own room. Being clean will make things easier for you when you need something for school or work and you would already know where it’s going to be. When you are clean even your house you’ll live happy and never have to think of being a mess in life. You will be more productive and more relaxed.

5. Be True

       Being true to yourself is better than lying to your own self and feel bad at the same time. Being true to yourself is better because you don’t want to be the person that gets left out on all the fun. You would want to participate in fun class activities but lying to yourself won’t let you have fun and participate. Be true to yourself. 

6. Be Positive

      Being positive is the best way to live your life. Being positive on a bad day is good because you can change everything with the positive attitude. For example your boss yells at you but you ask him gently why he yelled at you he might explain but just in case take him a treat that will change his attitude. When you play a soccer game you get frustrated but if you are positive knowing that you can win the game if you all stay positive you will win the game. Play together and have fun stay in a positive attitude and great things will happen. I do a lot of positive things. When I’m in a positive attitude I do many things to others especially when they need help. When you’re positive your body is full of energy that can be transferred by greeting someone or helping someone. I’m positive every day because even if it’s a bad day I always find a way out of it.

7. Be Humble

      This is the best thing I am good at being humble. There will always be that person that is older than you and think that they can boss you around. If they are an adult especially a women just be humble. Being humble means having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. If they tell you things you shouldn’t be doing just be calm ignore what that person says and just respond in a calm way. There is no need to have an argument with that type of person so might as well save time and move on. For example me, I am in a music group and since there is two bass players which is me and the lady she thinks she knows everything and could get things done and rubs it on my face. What I do is that I listen, look around and just be like whatever’s especially when she tells me what not to do. Once she leaves I am happy with the others and ignore what the person says. That is my way of being humble I act innocent and ignore.

8. Be Still

      Being still helps you calm yourself down when you are in a bad mood. When I’m in a bad mood I stay still and just continue doing homework or watch videos that takes your mind off things. When your still you live more calmly and you die of anger at a young age because when you get mad a lot you can die from it. I stay still when I need to focus and its because if you hurry you won’t get anything wrong and when you are still you get to relax and not rush at something that can be done in less than an hour. Be still to live a longer, healthier, stronger life.

9. Be Prayerful

Reflection

          There is many ways to be happy but these 9 are one the main ones. Each topic/ways of being happy everyday help someone every single day when they have a bad day or good day. When you’re happy you make someone else happy which is good. Being happy can change someone’s way of living in this world. Always choose the right and be happy and cheer up others.

Commitment

Commitment

A new attribute that I would like to talk about would be commitment. The word commitment means: the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity. To be commited means that you will do what you have to do and not let others down. A good quote that relates to the word commitment is,” there’s no abiding success without commitment.” This quote is really a fact because in real life commitment is needed to most in order to succeed. For example when I had a big project to do and be done in 1 week I had to be working on it everyday. I was commited to finishing that project. I felt that if I didn’t finish this project I was going to ruin all my grades and I was so focused to finish the project. I had finished 2 days before the presentation and I was glad about it. I was commited to finishing the project and there is my success in life and improve my grades by a lot which I needed. You must be commited when it comes to something big because if your not commited you wont finish and get a bad grade.

Obedience

OBEDIENCE

“The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have”

~Boyd K. Packer

A new attribute is the word obedience. The word obedience means, “Compliance with an order, request, or law or submission to another's authority.” This word obedience is really important in life. You wonder why? The reason why the word obedience means a lot in life is because in order to proceed in life is to obey and listen to orders. You learn how to respect people and show respect to others. To be obedient take a lot to learn but it’s not hard. When you’re obedient sometimes you get treats or you get certificates. For example when I was younger I was a student of the month in elementary. In order to get that certificate I had to be obedient and that got me to a higher level and that’s how I am now. I am obedient and obedience is the main thing in life.

A Smile

A Smile

     A new attribute for today is a smile. The meaning of a smile is to show someone yours feelings or how you are feeling. A good quote for the word smile is, “Don’t because it’s over, smile because it happened.” This quote means a lot to someone in life. This quote is basically saying that always have a positive feeling so that once you finish you don’t put yourself down. Be happy we win or lose because all the effort you put in something you will be recognized for it.

Prosperity

Prosperity

      The word prosperity to me means a whole lot of my life. The definition for prosperity is the state of being prosperous. To me the word means that I need to be successful in life. Put goals in front of me and accomplishing them to get what is needed. Being prosper will help me and is helping me pass all my classes and hopefully if I keep being prosper I will graduate and go to a UC university or college. For example me since I play soccer I want to get better and score goals in every match up. In order to prosper and get what I want I must practice and get better and I will keep succeeding until I am the best player on the team. 

"Decisions determine destiny"

“Decisions Determine Destiny”

A new attribute or quote is “decisions determine destiny” by Thomas s. Monson. This quote to me is good advice because the decisions I have made have taken to places that I got to by accomplishing them and I say to myself what a great guy I’m going to be. An example would be me being an advanced bass player. When I first started to play the instrument I wanted which was bass I sucked at it. In sophomore year I started to take music class and I learned how to play to bass and my decision at that moment was to be a pro bass player. It took about 2 months for me to get the string and chords which I now know very well. Now I'm a good player and still practicing more to get to my destiny which is to play one day in a group.

Caring

Caring

A new attribute is caring and the meaning for it is: displaying kindness and concern for others. A good quote that I like is,” nothing can wear you out like caring about people”. Caring for someone feels great and it also makes you go through a little problem but you still are happy. When you care for someone that person will care for you and there will be a connection between both. For example me I care for girlfriend who I met in 9th grade and I still care for her now and it makes me happy to see her happy. Always helping each other out when we need help.

Boldness

  Boldness

A new attribute that I like the most is the word boldness. The word boldness means: not hesitating or fearful in the face of actual or possible danger or rebuff; courageous and daring. A quote that represents the word bold is ,”confidence to say and do what is right.” This word I like to say because it gives me inspiration. Why? It gives me inspiration because when I play a game of soccer I am bold and will be when I have to take a risk when it’s a free kick or a penalty and that’s where I need to be bold.
