The 9 ways to

Be Happy and Make Something of Your Life 

Way 1. Be Grateful

"Gratitude creates the most wonderful feeling. It can resolve disputes. It can strengthen friendships. And it makes us better men and women."

Everyone should be grateful. Everyone should be grateful because it's like a door to success. It's also important to be grateful because it makes people feel better about themselves. Whenever someone say that they're grateful for me, I feel like a better person. A way of showing gratitude is like thanking someone for being there for you. Another way to show that you're grateful is by giving compliments to others. Being grateful can improve our physical health. Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only. I believe that this quote represents what being grateful is "Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only." ~Samuel Butler

Way 2: Be Smart
"Train your mind and your hands to become an influence for good as you go forward with your life. Perform excellence."

Being smart can lead you to success and many other things. If you're smart then, you can perform better than others. Being smart is something we all strive for. Another reason you should be smart is because it can make you powerful. You can teach other people things if you're smart. If you're smart, sometimes people will compliment you on you're knowledge. 

Way 3: Be Involved in Good Works
"Be willing to work, for it will make all the difference in your life."

Being involved in good works can lead you to better things in life. It can lead to success. Being in good works can also make you look like a better person. Being in good works can make you into a leader. If you're a leader then you'll have strong power and with power comes success. If you're a leader then you'll have a voice that'll be heard. If you're involved in good works then people will be there to back you up on your works. People will look up to you if you're doing good. If you inspire people to do good they will. I think this quote is a good example of why people should be involved in good works:"Don't just get involved. Fight for your seat at the table.Better yet, fight for a seat at the head of the table"~Barack Obama. 

Way 4: Be Clean
"Be clean in every way. Delight in being clean. Relish the challenge of standing above and beyond the base trends of the world. You will never regret it."

Being clean is something we all need to be. Being clean can make you feel good. Being clean can make you look better. If you're clean then you won't ever regret it. If  you're clean then, you'll feel better about not getting involved into drugs , alcohol etc... If you're clean your whole life then you'll be wiser on your choices. An example can be like not doing drugs or alcohol. Another example can be like taking showers daily. “If you can't clean up after yourself.. There's no need for you to mess things up.. And expect another person to clean up behind you."~unknown. I feel that this quote somewhat relates to the way. 

Way 5: Be True
"Be true to what is right and fair and honest."

Being true can make you look fair. It shows honesty. Being true is doing the right thing. Being true makes you look like a better person. It also makes you look more mature than others. It can lead to good things or bad things in the future. An example of  being true is like telling the truth when you know you did something bad. Another way of being true can be by always being honest. Another way is being fair. If you're true then you'll know you did thee right thing."Never apologize for what you feel. It's like being sorry for being real."~ Lil Wayne. I feel that this quote implies to this way very much because you shouldn't apologize for what you feel is right. It's like saying sorry for being real with you. 

Way 6: Be Positive
"There is good all around us--if we will only look for it. When good men and good women face challenges with optimism, things will always work out!"

Being positive can make you feel good about things. Being positive can make you seem more friendly. More people are going want to be around you if are positive. If you're positive then you'll live a longer and happier life. It's impossible to feel positive and negative at the same time. You'll feel peaceful and calm. If you're positive then you'll have better coping skills. Another reason you should be positive is because it gives you more energy.a last example of you should be positive is because it will lead you to a full-filling life. “More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.” ― Roy T. Bennett. I feel that this quote implies to the way because if you're positive then you won't have to worry about things and you won't be stressed.

Way 7: Be Humble

"Don't be arrogant. The world is full of arrogant people. There is no place for arrogance. There is no place for conceit. There is no place for egotism."

If you're humble more people can respect you. If you're humble, people will loo up to you and want to be like you. If you're not humble then people won't like you that much.  No matter what you do, no matter how successful you are, no matter how lucky you are, never boast about being better than others. You should always be honest to others. Compliment other's on their strengths. Embrace your strengths but, show that you have weaknesses. You should learn when to speak and when to listen. "Real genius is nothing else but the supernatural virtue of humility in the domain of thought."~Simone Weil. I believe that this quote goes with the way. 

Way 8: Be Still

"Find time to drown out the noise of the world. Take time to think about the kind of person you want to become."

I'm really not sure what this way means. I think that this way means to reflect on yourself. I also think it means to think about the person that you want to be in the future. I also think that it means to think about your future. I think it also means to be at peace. I think that this also means that you should reflect on yourself.



Way 9: Be Prayerful

Reflection: I feel like most of these ways will lead you to happiness. I also think that these ways will lead you to make something of your life. I felt that most of these ways are very helpful. I also feel that these ways are a great example of ways to make yourself happy. One of the ways that of the ways that helped me the most was to always be positive. Another way that helped me was be humble. It helped me because I learned that I should be more humble. I will commitment to most of the ways but some of them I don't understand or I  stand with.
