Goodness is not an innate trait of humans when we were born as infants without knowledge we were the same - from the zero of the human journey, at this time no one can know if this infant will be good or not in the future. Time passes when growing up, our characteristics become clearer and bolder, and we are able to know our true selves. Therefore, we can indicate that goodness is the trait, which people can learn and practice to become. How to be a good person is the question that we need to find the answer.
1. Able to identify what is good and bad
If you want to be a good person you have to know what a good person is, how a good person behaves, and which thinking or actions are considered as good or bad. We have to know it clearly to avoid the misconception of good and bad behavior, when I was a child my parents taught me carefully about what I should do and what I shouldn't, when I went to school I continued to be taught about this and it created my trait until know. If you were taught just to focus on yourself, avoid helping beggars out there because they are all liers when you were a child, this teaching can be engraved in your mind and form the awareness that it is the right and good thing that you should follow to become a good person. However, this isn't good in deed, focusing too much on ourselves and never helping anyone can easily make us selfish.
2. Improving ourselves
To be recognized as a good person by someone, we have to be recognized by ourselves first. To help ourselves better we can start with little things as making small changes by reviewing our bad habits and trying to change them little by little, this process can last 1 month, 2 months or even more than that but we have to stick with it and never give up. Reviewing ourselves every day is also a good way to reflect and fix ourselves as soon as possible, if we recognize that we did something bad that day, try to fix it these days after, if we did good things we have to multiply it more and more. Improving the physical is also an excellent way, praying & meditating help our mind relax, find inner peace, and focus on the inner self. When we gain inner peace, we feel more positive, which helps us become a better person.
3. Having a positive attitude
Bringing a positive attitude helps us better than a negative one. If we always stay negative, it will impact the way we treat everyone around us. We can create positive energy by trying to do something nice for someone every day, even if it's something small like holding the door for someone or helping old men across the street. Practicing forgiveness is also a vital way to make us spread positive energy. When we forgive, we let go of resentment that can cause anger, bitterness, and turmoil. Forgiveness also makes us more compassionate towards others. Also, remember that lying violates trust and destroys relationships. Instead of lying, be honest with those around us. Good people are honest and direct with what they're feeling and thinking.
In conclusion, to be a good person is a hard and long way, in this way, everybody has to learn and cultivate themselves every day, it is not only stopping at improving ourselves but also the way we treat people. Be honest, kind, and nice will help us achieve our goals, never give up because of the bad things you have done, correct them, and stand up from those mistakes, it will make you stronger and better.
