So my SIL gave my husband and I a giant wood wall hanging with the 9 B's painted on it. I have decided I want to repaint it with a different set of 9 B's. For those who need a refresher, the B's are.. Be still, Be humble, Be smart, Be grateful, Be involved, Be clean, Be true, Be positive, Be prayerful. There is a book, which I have, that goes through each B and names the reason for it.
I've already decided that one change should be, Be loud instead of Be still.
Any other suggestions?

OK, if you're not gay, you can at least Be SUPPORTIVE.

Be truly happy.
Be grateful you are out.
Be positive in life.
Be understanding.
Be open.
Be free.
Be smart.
Be yourself.
Be strong.

I hope some of my be attitudes work for you.

Beautiful list --one suggestion

replace "be truly happy" with "be tolerant" as number one.

Tolerance is a virtue LDS people know nothing about, whereas, being truly happy is a consequence of living the other eight of dragwit's B's.

Great thread! Thank you!

Thank you for the positive feedback Annagrammy, I am going to change my personal list. I'll keep my post so others will understand, but I am definitely changing my own list.

I like your last one- be sad when you really are. I know so many people focused on always being positive, But there are times to be sad and grieve. That has to be acknowledged and worked through in order to be genuinely happy.

I didn't see "be honest" on that list.
