9 WAYS to be happy and make something of your life by Gordon B. Hinckley
1. Be grateful
Being grateful means to take in consideration on how important and valuable something is to you. To me being grateful is important because you value something much more. My parents always taught me how to be grateful for what I have and to earn what I have in my life.An example can be having free education in other parts of the world you actually have to pay for education. When being grateful it makes you try harder in school since its free and education is key to success. Many people don't value what they have in life. I personally know people who aren't grateful and just throw what they have away like trash. Being grateful is an important attribute to someones personality what they are like. People who are grateful seem to be more positive in their lives than people who aren't. When you value something you always take care of it more and try harder. You can be grateful for many things. For example I'm grateful for my family, friends, my house and even food. These are just somethings you can be grateful for, who knows maybe I'm grateful for many things I just don't know it yet.
"I'm looking forward to the future, and feeling grateful for the past"
-Mike Rowe
I will apply this way to my life by taking more things I have in my life with more value and being thankful for everything
2.Be smart
Being smart means you know that you are better at making hard decisions and everyone knows certain thing but smart people know even more. Someone smart knows when to do something and when they should wait for the perfect moment. I wouldn't consider myself to be that smart but others say i am but i am just not motivated. common sense is something everyone should have but some people forget about it and make mistakes. Even if you consider yourself smart you should always continue to stay educated. One way to be smart is to be educated by going to school and furthering your education even further by eventually going to college and getting a degree. If you are smart you will make right decisions and strive to only make right decisions.
I will apply this way by making better choices in life
3. Be Involved
Being involved is important in these 9 ways because it's something that life is going to be all about and it is being with everything that a person knows is right. Being involved with others is important because it shows them that they know that the person who is involved, they can always turn to him and see what he can do. One of the most important thing to be involved in is choosing the right that is the key part of being involved in things from choosing the right it is the best thing that any person can do in their life. A person can be involved with their community, they can try to help their community do things that can also improve their community. Being involved by being helpful to others showing that you can be there for them, showing respect by being involved with any person that seems to need and want help. Try to change the world make it a better place that is the best way to ever be involved.

I will apply this new way by getting involved in more actives and in our community
4.Be Clean
Being clean does not necessarily mean to be bathed or washed. Clean means to not put anything in your body that is not good for you. Being clean to me means to not do drugs. Say no to drugs and know right from wrong. To be clean is to do everything the right way and not to cheat or break rules.
When someone is clean in a way that their attitude is good and language is Proper.This is why people look up to people who are clean and positive. Being clean is way that everyone should try and do to be a little more happier than you already are.There is many ways someone can be clean. For example have a clean record, grades, attendance and even attitude.
"Be strong in body, clean in mind, lofty in ideals"-James Naismith
I will apply this rule by keeping my mind and body clean
5.Be True
Being true is an important aspect to be honest to yourself and keep everything real. Being true to yourself is very important. It is important because many people are not honest with themselves which makes them struggle. I personally like being true with my self because I can think more and have a clear visual of what I am supposed to do to improve on something. Many people appreciate it when you are honest and do not lie. every time you lie it leads to another and another until the truth comes out. Wouldn't it be easier to just say the truth and accept the consequences. Life is easier when you are just honest to yourself.
"You could lie to anyone else in the world but cant lie to yourself"-Unknown
I will apply this way by being honest with my self
6. Be Positive
Being positive is a good way to live life to the fullest. Being a positive person isn't a bad thing. People who are positive have a better outlook on life. To be positive is to never look at that negative outcomes but only the good of something. Being positive can teach you important morals in life. Optimistic can be another word for being positive. Being optimistic means that you don't doubt yourself to do great and being confident. Being positive can also boost your confidence.To be confident you have to be positive because you believe in yourself more. When you are positive you feel much better.
"Keep your face to a sunshine and you cannot see a shadow"-Unknown
7. Be Humble
No matter what you do, no matter how lucky you are, never boast about being better than others. Not being humble will bring down your character and make people not want to hang around with you. You need to be a CTR person 24/7 in order to be humble, in other words the first step. CTR 24/7 isn't just a motto, it is a lifestyle. It is important to become a CTR person. If you become a CTR person, then the ethics of each choice will become clear. I will apply this new way to myself by always appreciating what I have and not showing it off to others. No-one likes someone who boasts because they can make a person feel bad. This is why I pledge to be humble 24/7 and also be a CTR person.
8. Be still
Being still means to not move at all. Being still means being calm also at home, slowing down and not rushing things. When you stay still you are being in peace, relaxed if you say so. Just like when you do yoga or meditate you are in a still peace of mind.
9.Be Prayerful
Reflection
Overall i think that all these ways can be really helpful if you apply them to your everyday life. I'm not sure whether i can commit to all the ways to living happy but for sure i will apply like one or two of these to my my everyday life.
