9 Ways to be Happy and Make
Something of your Life
The Nine ways to BE:
1. Be Grateful
What being grateful is just being happy for the many things you have or you are getting even if you dislike it a bit becuase you may be the only one with whatever you already had or something you just recived by a person or your parents.
2. Be Smart
Being smart isn't just about your grades in school or if you know how to solve a math problem faster than everyone else. Smartness is mainly used to solve problems and very little people use that smartness to choose whats best for them and pick the correct path for their future for example, a boy finds a wallet on the sidewalk he has two options 1. to give the wallet to the police 2. to keep it to himself. If the boy thinks smart on these two decisions he will likely pick the first option because he knows that keeping the wallet will lead him to bad consequences.
3.Be Involved in Good Works
Helping others or your community to increase or improve by being involved in good projects around your neighborhood maybe plant a tree, help others make a community garden. If you are involved in good works you will feel good about yourself and you will have a better self-esteem.
4.Be Clean
Cleanliness is always important when you are at home, at work, and also school. Being clean helps you find things in your room so you should clean it whenever you have the time. Being clean also gives an example for the third way which talks about being involved in good works you can help your community by helping others keeping it clean.
5.Be True
Being true doesn't mean that everything you say is correct and you plan on not lying.Being true means to keep your word and don't lie to yourself if you want to change who you are, you can do that but you are not being true to yourself.
6.Be Positive
Being positive is what many people believe it is just being happy and they are correct. One way of being positive is to always keep on going even if people try to bring you down and I mean it in an emotional level. If something bad happens you may cry but they will tell you that you must stay positive and stop worrying too much.
7. Be Humble
Being humble means to reduce your ego in half or in other words don't go around bragging to people about anything that makes you proud be humble and normal if you start bragging about something others will think you are annoying and wont even want to talk to you.
8. Be Still
Being still may be just being in one place but that's only part of it the whole point of being still is to clean or refresh your mind through meditation.]
9.Be Prayerful
Reflection:
