9 WAYS TO BE HAPPY AND MAKE SOMETHING OF YOUR LIFE

 Gordon B. Hinckley
1. be grateful
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Marcel Proust


this quote and picture represent being grateful because its about giving thanks to who you love. you need to be thankful for what you have instead of wishing for what others have. this will make you more happy because youre content with yourself. its like finding peace.
2. be smart
“The only freedom you truly have is in your mind, so use it.” 
― M.T. Dismuke

this quote is tellling you to use your brain. not literally. but use it to make wise decisions and think about the consequences before doing the action. making good decisions and taking the hard way out will be twice as rewarding in the end. one dumb decision could lead to a lifetime of regret. choose the right!
3. be involved in good works

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.

Elbert Hubbard

this quote represets being involved in good works. this is because, doing good today and youll do good the next. it will become a habit. but its a good habit not bad. the picture shows to hands holding in a friendly way. they reach out and help each other. help each other choose the right and stay right!

4. be clean

I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That's because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life.

Tobey Maguire

being clean goes farther than personal hygiene. this means that grow up at your own pace. dont become an adult to soon. stay innocent and pure. youre only a child. staying clean also means youre more happy. you see the positive end of everything. the quote, tobey is happier and more full of life because she thinks like a kid. kids are happy and outgoing. they dont feel shame yet. they are taught shame as they grow up and become less outgoing because of it.

5. be true

“Our true self is being who we are.” 

― Lailah Gifty Akita

being true to yourself is a good attribute to have. you should be making cesions for your best interest and become  who you want to be not what they want you to be. you are who you are and you pretending to be some one else isnt you. 

6. be positive

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.

Lyndon B. Johnson

being positive is the best way to live life. always think about all the good things you have. they will always out weigh all the negative. remember it doesnt matter if the cup is half full or half empty. theres water in the cup drink it! in other words, take every opportunity you can get. it will be the best thing you can do. to be more positive take 5 minutes every day and think about your loved ones, hobbies, anything you like doing. staying positive even through the worse situations is the best characteristic.
7. be humble
"I am sufficiently proud of my knowing something to be modest about my not knowing all.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

being humble throughout your success is necessary. you never know when you will loose everything. being egoistic is such a nasty characteristic to have. when you're humble you stay in touch to your beginnings and are grateful for all the rewards your hard work has given you.  you give back to your community and are open to anyone that needs help. being humble is a good characterisitic to have. in order for me to stay humble i will focus on my success and help anyone that asks me for help. i will also offer help to who i think needs it. being humble also means thanking god for what hes allowed you to accomplish.
8. be still
 I think be still means is wait until your moment. It takes time to become someone successful. There might be rough times but never give up cause you might get there soon. All it takes it patients and choosing good decisions. Always be and listen to yourself never let anyone choose your fate. Only ask for help if you really need it. Never  rely on someone's opinion because at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Be you and just wait for that moment.
9. be prayerful










the 9 ways to be happy and something with your life are very deep. they make you reflect on past actions and make you question yourself. are you truly being happy and honest with yourself. these 9 ways will help you find freedom within yourself. theyre not rules theyre principles. in order for me to follow them i will read each every day to remind myself to choose the right. this will help me emotionally and at school. i will be doing better socially thanks to these 9 principles everyone should be following.

obedience
"the key to freedom is obedience. the more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."
-boyd k packer

this quote is a reflection of obedience because it talks about following orders being a good thing. this picture shows a mother telling her kid to obey her. she probably did something wrong and her mom has to correct her. being obedient makes you freer because you dont have any consequences to suffer. youre free to do anything you want because you know right from wrong. this relates to my 100+ life planning goals because i have to pick goals that are right. they cant lead me to the wrong path.

a smile
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.
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Dr. Seuss

smiling is a good attrribute to have become its welcoming. it lets someone know you are friendly. this dr.suess quote is good to keep in mind because we shouldnt regret anything that happens to us. instead we should learn from the experience and move along. i chose this picture because you should be smiling everyday. you cant be stuck on the negativity. life will flash before your eyes and youll be old soon. so enjoy being young.

courage
being brave

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.


this quote reflects courage because anyone can let one negative thing control their thoughts and process. someone with courage can lay back and control themselves. think through the situation and then act. the pictures reflects courage because it can be interpreted as, anyone can be courageous, big or small. the cat looks small and defenseless but his shadow shows a big lion. so everyone can be a lion. even if they are a small cat.

 twin tower attacks. 

When the attacks happened i was only 2 years old. i don't remember what i was doing. i feel scared that one day it will happen again. but ever since that day the security in america has been reinforced. i feel safer knowing airport security is very strict. there's alot of videos online that say it may have been the government that made the attacks. i really do think it was a terrorist attack.

"Decisions Determine Destiny"- Thomas S. Monson
                                       
         The attribute of this quote is wise. This quote shows being wise because if you are not you will have a bad destiny. Its saying our choices foreshadow our future. Making a bad choice can lead to a sad future, like being uneducated, poor, maybe even homeless. we should all think about the consequences of our actions before going through with plans. we choose our paths why not make a good path. By making good choices we will be rewarded with: an education, happiness, peace of mind, etc. This attribute helps us with our 100+ life planning goals because it encourages us to make positive goals.

Caring
displaying kindness and concern for others.

"Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be."


Author: Temple Grandin


caring is an important attribute to find. this quote defines that we should be nice even if our natural instinct is to be mean to survive. God is life. God is love. the hands make a heart because it signifies that those two people love and care for each other.

                                                                     Boldness
not hesitating or fearful in the face of actual or possible danger 

  “Over the next four years, we will be bold. We will be willing to experiment. We will not fear failure.” ~ Matt Blunt 

being bold is not being afraid to do things extraordinary. the quote describes boldness because it is being able to do whatever you want without fearing fear. this picture also describes boldness because the fish isnt scared to jump over into the empty fish bowl. being bold is a good thing.
