The 9 Ways

The 9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your Life


Be Grateful 

• Being grateful can be the smallest things. Grateful acn mean feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful. It can be anything  and very simple. I think you can be grateful for are the people around you. They will always be there for you even at the worst of times. To be grateful for everything you have, not everyone can have the same thing not everyone gets the same thing. Some can be less fortunate. Sometimes people take things for granted like there friends, things they have ( phone), and even how they live. Its something that people shouldn't forget, that they should be reminded. We should be grateful everyday ,but the day we say we are grateful is thanksgiving it shouldn't be one day it should be everyday.  It isn't a hard thing to say but most don't say it. Everyone should say they are grateful cause they know they are they just need to not be afraid to say it.

Quote:" When you are grateful fear disappears & abundance appears." - Anthony Robbins

 Im grateful for my home, family, friends and pets. I will try to say it more often and be more helpful.

Be Smart 

• Being smart is a word we use to describe our knowledge. Another way is having or showing a quick-witted intelligence. It is good to be smart because it can help a person to rise in there performance at work or in life. Like having knowledge about the government and how it works. It can help you when you are being faced with there sneaky tricks to win or to even knowing what things they can do. They could possibly be reading this to watch me. Being smart can be stronger than violence. If you enhance your vocabulary you can win things without words or hate. You would also be able to help others since you're so smart and it can be the simplest things, like knowing another language to help someone who doesn't know english. to even travel the world to help others with the knowledge to teach. 

Quote: "Follow your Heart but take your Brain with you."

Education is something that we all need and is important to all of us yet we take it for granted. I don't but it isn't easy to understand.

Be Involved in Good Works

• Being involved is something that some do and others don't. Being involved can be for many things like, family, school and community. This helps other with there communication and to not be a introvert. Helps build many communications between others and become a social butterfly.  But just cause you're being involved doesn't mean it's all good involvement. Sometimes people can be involved in drugs and that's not really good. Yet others think its a good way to get away from stressful things. They may not want the help and sometimes we shouldn't force the help. It may just push the person away. But being involved with someone to help is still a good thing. There are still other things people can do there is a endless opportunities. Its never a bad time to be involved and doing good.

Quote:"Small acts of kindness go a long way.Your good works could change someone's day"-Stacy .J Coles

We should all be involved in our communities yet not sure how. I would try ,but i'm a shy person and I stutter when I talk to people. I've tried to help at shelters but never able to.

Be Clean 

• Being clean can mean different things. Clean as in cleaning up a mess or clean as in pure. The cleaning one can be picking up your room or helping the environment. An example is once my mom had us volunteer picking up the trash around my sisters school. At first we didn't want to but eventually we started to enjoy it. We were praised on how good of a job we did.  As for the other clean that can mean pure can be done in different ways depending on the person. It can be done by not doing drugs, or drinking. To do all the things a good person would do Clean can have its many different meaning but the most common is from cleaning up. Everyone should clean up the place that we live. Right now our earth, home is dying but no one is going to care unless its to late. Some people are already but not enough.

Quote: " Clean out a corner of your mind and creativity will instantly fill it." - Dee Hock

We can all clean its the easiest thing to do. If you find trash just pick it up if trash can is close by just pick it up and throw it away. Simple yet we all rather not bother with it but it ca be the most important thing.

Be True

• Being true can have different meanings ,but still the same word. Everyone can lie but not everyone can tell the truth. Sometimes the truth is to hard to say so people lie cause it is easier. Yet it better to tell the truth even if it hurts the person or to face the consequences. True can also go into relationships. If you love a person you don't want to hurt there feelings. If you start to cheat on them because you don't like them any more then tell them. Its better than giving them a lie then completely hurting them. Same goes for friendships. Your not a true friend if you push them around and use them. Then you should stop or them them sorry and treat them like a real friend. Unless your really cruel. You should take control of your mistakes. 

Quote: " Stay True to you and you will end up INCREDIBLY happy."

I will won't lie about my feelings and keep them true even if it can hurt someone it is better than lying.

Be Positive

• To be positive there are many different ways. It can be to help others be positive or yourself. With helping others be positive it can be "used" in many different cases. If they know there are in a bad mood due to grades or something else. Then as there friends its your job to help and support them and help them be happy again. As for yourself don't bring yourself down. Don't say mean things to yourself, if not you may worry others or that they will try to keep you positive with a happy life. They are Believe happiness is a choice, Rid of your life of negativity, Look for the positive in life, Reinforce positivity in yourself, and Share happiness with others. You should accept it instead of pushing it away. There are also the five steps of being Sometimes when you are being positive it can still affect people with out noticing.

Quote: " In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision " - Dalai Lama

Instead of listening to the people who put me down i will listen to the ones who help me up to succeed. To help me keep a postie attitude.

Be Humble

• Being humble having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance. Another wording for humble is Humility. There are many ways to be humble. There can be putting the needs of others before your own, thinking of others before yourself. To not draw attention to yourself and to acknowledging that you ate't always correct. They do these things with out trying to get people's attention. They do things to not be given a recognitions, but because it is good. Many can say there humble but just saying it doesn't mean they are. Humble people will go to the greatest strength or anything in there power to help. Not for money and fame but for the greater good. Everyone in the world should be like that.

Quote: " Be humble yo may bee wrong"

They way i would be humble is to make sure i'm kind to everyone and try not to speak out about others. Which for me is hard but I can try to teach my sisters.

Be Still

• Being still  has multiple meanings. One example is the to be completely still or relating to just relaxing  and to let your mind free to feel calm. Being still doesn't mean you don't do anything,  it can be simple like enjoying nature, not being on your phone. Just to feel calm and let your mind flow.  An example is to meditate or do the memory mudra. It is a hand position to help you with memories to channel them through your mind. Anything really even just sitting outside and enjoying the air. Its not really hard to be still. Yet it may be for others. Maybe something that bugs them and cant sit still. Just like children to much energy for them to be still.

Quote: " Being still and doing nothing are two completely different things." - Jackie Chan

Be Prayerful


IN this event of the 9 Ways have slowly changed how i think about things yet not really. To me its seems thing all has to do with religion. I don't have one i just live in this world. Yet these allow me to change the way I live. To do things differently. To be kind I will be kinder to my sisters even if at times they annoy me. To be clean to make sure my room isn't a mess and not wait for saturday to clean it. These nine steps can improve anyone's lives you just need to show them first.

" There they are, nine Be's which, if  observed, will bring handsome dividends to any young man or women. They will add sparkle to your days and peace to your nights. They will save you from heartache and pain. They will bring purpose into your life and give direction to your energies.
They will bring your friends of your own kind. They will protect you from associations that would pull you down and deflect you from your course.
This is a time to be happy. This is a time to feel joy and make friends and enjoy the best this life has to offer. What I have tried to put forth .... are simply a few suggestions, gained from many years of living , to help ypu do just that. The world will tell that certain kinds of happiness- things such as popularity and possessions and satisfying your baser desires.
If today you find yourself only drifting as a leaf in a stream, get hold of yourself and determine you will do better.
At railroad grade crossing, signs of warning were once common. Two cross arms were emblazoned. words, "Stop, Look, Listen". They meant that a train could be roaring down the tracks and you had better be alert.
I was riding a train in the Midwest years ago. I looked out the window to my left. A road  ran parallel to the tracks. A car with a boy and a girl were speeding down the road a little faster than the train. The car moved ahead until I can no longer see it. Suddenly, the locomotive whistle sounded and the train screeched to halt as the brakes gripped the wheels. We looked out the window on to the other side. There was mangled car. Police cars soon converged, followed by a ambulance. The boy and girl were both dead. The road they were traveling crossed the tracks. They did not stop, look, or listen. It all happened in a instance.

The better way to Be is the way of these Nine BE's.

The year will inevitably pass, and pass quickly. Today is your day resolution. Promise yourself  to make something good of  (your) precious life."
