Being involved in good works can also mean you have a good reputation. Being involved in things that make you happy and fun and positive environment for everyone. Being involved in good works is doing something for others from the goodness of your heart.
Be Clean
Being clean to me in my opinion means that your don't do any drugs and being organized with everything. "Cleanliness is next to godliness" the more clean you are the less stress you have to worry about and you are more creative with yourself.
Be True
Being true means that you are honest and sincere, open minded. Doesn't mean you disrespect people somethings are best left unsaid, because the truth can hurt but a lie can lead to more things in the future don't make decisions that effect others be responsible for your actions being true can be a hard thing to do but is is possible to do so
Be Positive
Being positive means your are happy and thinking positively for example having a growth mindset and thinking about others and and not being filled with negativity and being enthusiastic. Also thinking positive is a great way to have a healthy environment around and caring for others.
Be Humble
Being humble means being Bool, Balm, and Bollective and having a positive mindset and being able to express yourself in a passive way and accepting humility. In this society being modest and kind can be seen as a weakness when in reality it the opposite.Being humble means you accept humility and submissiveness as Confucius said "Humility is the solid foundation of all virtues" and possibly the key to achievement.It is very hard to stay humble in this time period as for the world is becoming more and more chaotic with all innocent people getting killed and people of power abusing their power it is hard to stay humble.
Be Still
In my opinion be still means be calm and don't move around a lot what i mean is stick to one thing don't keep switching from one thing to another don't be messy be organized be overall be a calm and open minded person have a growth mindset
Be Prayerful
In my opinion being prayerful means you just take the time and pray to whoever you believe in thank your god everyday dont just pray in the hard times in your life
even the good ones
Being grateful means you are
thankful for what someone else gives you or does for you. Being enthusiastic is
another way to be grateful even though you may not like it the person had to
spend their money or time to get you that and the person may get offended that
you didn't like it. Being grateful is really important because when you’re a
kid you’re not independent you have to rely on your parents to provide for you
they provide everything a roof, food, money everything you use and when they
get you stuff for you be grateful because you only have 2 parents latter on you
may regret what you have done the time you wasted. Being grateful can lead to
many great things. Being grateful also shows that you are a great person and
not stuck up.

"There
they are, nine Be’s which, if observed, will bring handsome dividends to any
young man or woman. 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 you 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
you do just that. The world will tell that certain kinds of things will
bring
you 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 with the 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 was 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 a halt as the brakes gripped the wheels. We looked out the window on to the other side. There was a mangled car. Police cars soon converged, followed by the 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 an instant.

The better way to Be is the way of these nine Be’s.
The years will inevitably pass, and pass quickly.
Today is your day of resolution. Promise yourself to make something good of (your)
precious life."
