Introduction

The term “good” has relative meanings depending on the person who is defining it. Several qualities can be used to define what constitutes a good person. However, there are certain basic qualities that are used to define a good person. They include honesty, trust, generosity, compassion, empathy, humility, and forgiviness (Gelven 24).

These qualities are important because they promote peaceful coexistence among people because they prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. A good person is fair and just to all, and does not judge people. He or she is nice to everyone regardless of their religion, race, social and economic class, health status, or physical state (Gelven 25).

What Does It Mean to Be a Good Person?

A good person treats other people with respect, care, and compassion. Respect shows that an individual values and views the other person as a worthy human being who deserves respect. Compassion is a quality that enables people to identify with other people’s suffering (Gelven 27). It motivates people to offer help in order to alleviate the suffering of others. A good person has compassion for others and finds ways to help people who are suffering. Showing compassion to the suffering makes them happy.

It promotes empathy, understanding, and support. In addition, good people are forgiving. They do not hold grudges, and let go of anger that might lead them to hurt others. They think positively and focus their thoughts on things that improve their relationships (Needleman 33). They avoid thinking about past mistakes or wrongs done by others. Instead, they think of how they can forgive and move on.

A good person is honest and trustworthy. This implies that they avoid all situations that might hurt the other person such as telling lies, revealing secrets, and gossiping (Needleman 34). As such, their character or personality cannot be doubted because they do not harbor hidden intentions.

They act in open ways that reveal their true characters and personalities. On the other hand, good people are kind and respectful. They offer help voluntarily and work hard to improve the well-being of other people. In addition, they treat all people equally despite their social, physical or sexual orientations. Good people do not discriminate, hate, deny people their rights, steal, lie, or engage in corrupt practices (Tuan 53).

Good people behave courageously and view the world as a fair and beautiful place to live in (Needleman 40). They view the world as a beautiful place that offers equal opportunities to everyone. Good people believe that humans have the freedom to either make the world a better or worse place to live in. They act and behave in ways that improve and make the world a better place.

For example, they conserve the environment by keeping it clean for future generations. A popular belief holds that people who conserve the environment are not good but just environmental enthusiasts. However, that notion is incorrect and untrue. People conserve the environment because of their goodness. They think not only about themselves but also about future generations (Tuan 53). They are not self-centered and mean, but generous and caring.

Qualities of Good Person

Good people are characterized by certain qualities that include trust, honesty, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, respect, courage, and good will. They do not steal, lie, discriminate, or deny people their rights. They think about others’ welfare, and advocate for actions that make the world a better place. They promote justice and fairness because they view everyone as a deserving and worthy human being.

Have you ever wondered why people make the choices they do? What makes a person a good person? Should we strive to be good, and if so, why?

If you asked twenty people what it means to be a good person, chances are you would get twenty different answers. What individuals perceive to be good character traits vary depending on several factors. Religion, ethnic background and family dynamics all play a part in forming one’s personal opinions and often dictate how they view others.

Generally speaking, most people share a desire to be good. However, without knowing what makes a person “good,” it’s impossible to achieve that goal. For many, the struggle between trying to be good and having negative character traits can cause extreme anxiety or depression. We will discuss some of these issues and how to overcome them later in this article.

What Is Goodness?

The word «good» is defined by Merriam-Webster as «virtuous, right and commendable; kind and benevolent.»

Henry David Thoreau was quoted as saying, «Goodness is the only investment that never fails.»

Characteristics Of A Good Person

A good person often has habits, or characteristics, that make them stand out to others. A few examples include:

Empathy

Empathy definition psychology is the ability to emotionally understand the other person’s feelings by imagining yourself in the position of that person. An empathetic person expresses an understanding of how others feel.

It is expressed as an emotion, not just a verbal statement of understanding. An individual who is hurting often longs to have someone who understands what they are going through.

Being A Good Person Does Matter. Read More About How You Can Do This Here.

Honesty

An individual who wants to be a good person will strive to be honest with themselves and others. Dishonesty is one way to ruin a relationship and can make people view you negatively.

Humility

Being humble doesn’t mean a person subjects themselves to humiliation. Rather, a person who practices humility is willing to be kind to others without expecting to be rewarded. A humble person is willing to give of themselves and does not expect to receive anything in return.

Fairness

Being free from personal biases means that an individual can give an opinion without prejudice. It reflects a commitment to the basic principles of what is right, rather than being committed to the opinions of others.

Responsibility

Taking responsibility for one’s actions is a sign of maturity and is a characteristic of a good person.

Why Being A Good Person Matters

Your actions and behaviors help build your reputation. Some people may be known as selfish, money-hungry, or a menace. Others may be seen as kind, generous and faithful friends. Your reputation, among other factors, will help to create the opportunities you encounter in life.

Life choices, as mentioned above, have a way of following us for years, sometimes throughout our whole life. Below, we’ll discuss how our choices and reputations affect our lives, and why being a good person matters.

How Being Good (Or Bad) May Affect Your Career

Consider, for a moment, that you were the owner of a company and you needed to hire a new employee. Among potential candidates, two have amazing resumes. However, when you look beyond the words on the resume and contact references, one of the candidates is spoken very highly of. You are told that she is passionate about work, honest and very accountable. The other candidate, however, has references that were not as glowing. You were told that he was always late for work, could not take instruction or advice from supervisors without being offended, and was caught being dishonest in a few business deals. Suddenly, the experience outlined on those resumes doesn’t seem as important, does it?

Practicing habits of honesty and integrity are ways to establish yourself as a «good person.» Choosing to do otherwise could result in a negative impact on your career.

The Good, The Bad, And Relationships

Without a doubt, our behavior (whether good or bad) will impact our relationships with others. Practicing bad habits or acting poorly will eventually make people doubt our sincerity and trustworthiness. On the other hand, having a giving attitude and being honest and selfless are characteristics that people seek when building a long-term friendship or intimate relationship. It’s a matter of feeling safe. Relationships are an investment, and people who want healthy relationships will seek out people who make them feel safe, rather than those who leave them feeling uneasy or questioning their worth.

Being good is a personal decision. No matter how much education we receive on the positive and negative effects our behavior has on ourselves and others, no one can force another to be a genuinely good person. Consider the benefits of being a good person and how good behavior can impact your life for years to come.

Earning The Respect Of Others — Doors of opportunity tend to open more easily when we have the respect of others. Having the reputation of being a good person speaks volumes to present or potential employers, your co-workers, and your peers. When other people respect you, you are more likely to have a positive influence on their lives.

Respecting Yourself — If you find it difficult to respect yourself, chances are, others will not be respectful of you either. Acting in a good manner with honest habits and a good work ethic will give you a sense of pride and the right to respect yourself and your efforts.

Feeling A Sense Of Purpose — Our actions can create a sense of accomplishment or a feeling of regret. Learning good behavior, and practicing it daily, will create a feeling of purpose. The more purpose we feel, the more determined we become to accomplish good things in our lives.

When Being Good Seems Hard To Do

Have you ever felt that, no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to get life on the right track? No matter what a person’s past is like, we all experience days that seem a little more difficult than others. Life is a journey. Every day should be lived with purpose. Even the bad ones.

For many, the struggle to be a good person or to change unhealthy habits is very real. Talking to a friend or close family member may be a good way to gain some insight into how your behavior has affected others. Additionally, if the issue of being a good person is something that you struggle with, but want to achieve, seeking the advice of a counselor or therapist is a great way to discuss your feelings and learn ways to apply good practices.

Research shows that online therapy platforms are effective resources for people who want help with a variety of mental health concerns, including those related to issues of morality, decency, or goodness. In one study, published in World Psychiatry, researchers examined the effectiveness of online therapy—and, specifically, online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)—in treating a wide range of mental health disorders, finding that online therapy is as effective as face-to-face counseling. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps individuals understand the problematic thoughts and actions associated with certain situations, so that they can better manage their emotions and interactions. The report also mentions the increased accessibility and ease of use of online therapy platforms. These findings are in line with a growing body of research pointing to online therapy as a beneficial alternative to traditional, in-person therapy.

When you want to talk with a counselor, but don’t have the time to travel to and from appointments, online counseling is an option to consider. At BetterHelp, you can meet with a licensed, professional counselor from anywhere you have an internet connection. An online mental health professional can help guide you on the path to becoming the best version of yourself. Read below for some reviews of BetterHelp counselors, from people experiencing similar issues.

Counselor Reviews

«Michal has been very supportive. Her techniques are very handy and have really helped me switch my negative thoughts to positive ones. Looking forward to learning more from her to become a better version of myself. Thank you Michal.»

«Krysten has been an immense help in dealing with and confronting my anger and depression issues. I started to notice immediate changes in my general disposition within a week of working with her. My friends and family have even said I seem less bitter and jaded. And the fact that I can communicate with her frequently has done wonders in keeping me on track and progressing forward. My time working with Krysten and being on BetterHelp has been a positive experience and done much more for me than traditional in-office therapy ever did.»

Conclusion

When asked, most people will say that they desire to be a good person. The benefits of being good, such as having strong relationships or having a positive influence on others are undeniable. While most behavior is learned in childhood, that doesn’t mean that bad behavior cannot be changed and positive behavior learned. Honesty with oneself is the first step to becoming a good person. With the right tools, you can be a good person and enjoy the benefits discussed in this article.

    GOOD FRIDAY En Grande-Bretagne, il est traditionnel, le jour du vendredi saint, de manger des «hot cross buns» (petits pains ronds aux fruits secs, marqués d’une croix).

    THE GOOD FRIDAY AGREEMENT Le processus de paix en Irlande du Nord, qui a été amorcé par les cessez-le-feu des groupes paramilitaires républicains et unionistes en 1994, a abouti au «Good Friday Agreement», l’accord de paix signé à Belfast en avril 1998. Cet accord, parrainé par les Premiers ministres britannique et irlandais, et finalement approuvé par le Sinn Féin et par la plupart des partis unionistes, a mis en place la «Northern Ireland Assembly», un parlement quasi autonome avec un partage démocratique du pouvoir entre les communautés protestante et catholique. Cet accord est une étape vers la fin de trente ans de guerre civile en Ulster.

    You’ve never had it so good Ce slogan a été utilisé pour la première fois aux États-Unis en 1952 par les Démocrates. Il signifie «vous êtes aujourd’hui plus prospères que jamais». En Grande-Bretagne, ce slogan est associé au Premier ministre conservateur Harold Macmillan qui l’utilisa dans un discours en 1957. Aujourd’hui, on utilise cette formule sur le mode ironique lorsqu’une situation n’encourage pas du tout à l’optimisme.

  • What It Actually Means to Be a Good Person

    What do the words good person mean to you? There are many different kinds of people around the world. Some are friendly and some are confident. However, it is very hard to look for someone that we can identify as a good person. In my opinion, there are several personalities of people, but two important qualities are being faithful and being kind.

    One of the greatest qualities a good person need is being faithful. First and foremost, a trustworthy person is someone we can count on no matter what. For example, a good person is a person with whom you can talk to and trust with your secrets, they won’t open their mouth just for fun of it because they respect you. Furthermore, a trustworthy person will never lie to each other. Another point of being a faithful person is responsible. For instance, as a responsible member of the family, they will take care of whenever they go far away will always worry for the family members. Namely, with a friend relationship, a good person will never penny wise pound foolish, keep a promise, Apologize when you’ve made a mistake.

    Being a kind person is another necessary quality of a good person. Firstly, a good person is someone who has a warm heart. For instance, he or she will give love to people around by they share their couple with virtuous and kind actions such as doing charity, donate money to poor people or taking care of old people in care homes. Moreover, becoming a volunteer can help community life is improved by aiding others and helping hands like joining green summer program. Secondly, caring for each other is a way to build a good character too. For example, when your friend or your family are in a bad situation, a good person can give useful advice to them to help them solve the problem. Namely, Help your friends deal with their struggles and support emotion when they are in bad mood.

    Being a good person means more than just doing things for others. You have to accept and love yourself before you can put positive energy into the universe. Philosophers have been debating what is good and what is not for centuries, and many people find that it’s more complicated than just being kind. While every person’s journey is different, being good has a lot to do with discovering yourself and your role in the world. In order to truly be good, you will have to consider what ‘goodness’ means to you. Perhaps this means doing good for others, or simply being an honest and kind person. Use some of the following tips to help yourself be a better person.

    1. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 1

      1

      Determine what being a good person means to you personally. Some people think that being a good person is as simple as not doing harm to another. But it is not always about what you don’t do, but what you do for others. Being a good person also includes helping yourself as much as others.[1]
      You have to decide what you believe being a good person entails.

      • What is your ideal person? Make a list of traits that you believe make up a good, ideal person. Start living your life according to these traits.[2]
      • Are you waiting for something in return? Are you doing things because it will help you look good? Or are you doing things because you truly want to give and help? Stop putting up airs and adopt the attitude of giving without expectation of receiving anything in return.[3]
      • Being good does not mean only by outer goodness. You have to consider being good straight from the heart (i.e., purely). Ultimately, you have to decide on your own code of ethics, and what matters is that you follow through with what you believe makes you a good person. At times, this may conflict with what others believe is good, and they might even accuse you of being wrong or evil. Consider their views — either they know something you don’t, in which case you may learn something from them and update your morality, or perhaps their experience is limited, meaning that you should take their views with a grain of salt.
    2. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 2

      Choose a role model. Having a role model provides you with an example of someone to correspond to. This person should have traits that you want to attain. Think of ways that you can better embody the qualities you admire. Think of how to apply those qualities in your work, creative pursuits, personal relationships, diet, and lifestyle.[4]

      • Who do you look up to and why? How are they making the world a better place to live in, and how can you do the same?
      • What qualities do you admire in them, and how can you develop the same ones?
      • Keep your role model close to you, like a friendly spirit that is always at your side. Think of how they would respond to a question or circumstance, and how you should respond in the same manner.
      • Ask your loved ones and people your trust for their input about how you can improve. They may recognize things you might not notice.[5]
      • Check in with your loved ones often and ask them if there are still ways you can become a better person.[6]

      Stop comparing yourself to others. Try to understand that some have it better than you, but many have it much worse. When we make ourselves miserable by comparing ourselves with others, we are wasting time and energy that we could use in building our own inner resources. Compliment yourself every morning. Being happy makes you a more positive person, which helps you put those positive vibes out into the world.[7]

      • You have your own unique gifts and talents. Focus on sharing them with the world instead of focusing on the gifts of another.[8]
    4. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 4

      4

      Love yourself. Learn to love yourself in every way. Practice unconditional self-acceptance. The only way you can truly love others is to first have confidence and love yourself. What you do and what you believe must make you feel good as well as others. If you try to do things for others without taking care of yourself, you can end up resentful, angry, and negative. If you love yourself, then you will make a positive impact when you help others.[9]

      • Are you superficially acting like a good person? If you are self-loathing and angry on the inside, you may not be a good person despite all your outward actions.
    5. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 5

      5

      Be yourself. Remember to be yourself always and never someone who you’re not. Don’t try to be like somebody else; just be yourself and do good things as simply as you can. Being yourself helps you be a genuine person who can reflect positivity into the world. Staying true to yourself helps you find focus and understand your core values and what you find important.[10]

      • Be good for its own sake. Don’t try to be a good person because your parents told you to, because you want recognition or respect, or for any kind of reward except your own satisfaction in doing what you believe is good. Never act superior to anyone else or brag about your «goodness» or «righteousness». Your dedication to a particular creed, ideology, or set of guidelines does not make you better than anyone else. Do what you believe makes you a good person on your own terms, and remember that it’s an individual journey — everyone’s path is unique. «Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.» — Alexander Pope.
    6. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 6

      6

      Pray and/or meditate. Praying to a higher power or meditating can help cultivate the qualities you seek to embody. Meditation and prayer can help you find inner peace and focus on your inner self.[11]
      As you increase your self-awareness, you understand what you really want and find clarity in your life. As you gain inner peace, you feel more positive, which helps you become a better person.[12]

      • Find a private, safe space free from distractions. Sit in a comfortable position. Clear your mind from all thoughts and take a few deep, slow breaths. Observe the thoughts in your head. Don’t feel or react, just observe. If your focus breaks, just count to ten. Meditate until you feel cleansed and rejuvenated.[13]
    7. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 7

      7

      Make small changes. Take a moment to reflect and recognize the things you need to change to be the best version of yourself.[14]
      No one can change immediately. But even small changes can make an enormous and positive difference. Set small goals every month or two and focus on one or two key habits which you want to change.

      • An example for Goal 1: I will listen to others without interrupting at all either verbally or in any other way. Think of how annoying it can be for you when the other person begins to move the lips as if they are about to intervene.
      • Goal 2: I will do my best to think of what things would make another person happy. This could be sharing your food or drink with others when they are hungry or thirsty, letting someone else sit where you want to sit or something else.
    8. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 8

      8

      Review your goals every day. To start your mission to become a good person, make and read a list of your ideals every day. Make it a part of you. Follow the guidelines and add some of your own steps as well.

      1

      Try to look at the bright side of things. Bring a positive attitude to every situation. Negativity only hurts yourself and others. If you are negative, it has an impact on the way you treat others. Our mentality can influence the achievements of our days. If something doesn’t turn your way, try to change what you can, smile, stay positive, and move on.[15]

      • The Motto of the Christophers says: «It is better to light a single candle than it is to curse the darkness.» Be that light. When you see controversy, try to be the one who changes the subject by suggesting a solution. Don’t state what you would do, but ask everyone to get involved.
    2. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 10

      2

      Do an act of charity for someone else. Try to do something nice for someone every day, even if it’s something small. An act of kindness and generosity can have a great influence. Smile, hold the door open for someone, pay it forward at the drive through — just try to do something to make someone’s day.

      • Even reach out to people who have been cold or indifferent to you. Show someone who is rude to you the example of your kindness. Maybe people have always been rude to them. Be the person who shows them kindness instead.[16]
    3. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 11

      3

      Make a point to make the world a better place every time you leave the place of your dwelling. Every time you interact with the world you have an opportunity to do something good and positive. It does not have to be something big, but can be something like picking up some trash that someone threw down in a local park or in front of your neighbor’s home. Be conscientious and find a way to give back to the world. Easy ways to make a positive change include:

      • Recycling
      • Buying organic and locally grown food
      • Being a responsible pet owner by cleaning up after your pets[17]
      • Donating old items to shelters or charitable organizations instead of a thrift store[18]
      • Putting items back in the store where you got them instead of leaving them
      • Not taking the closest parking space so you leave it for someone who needs it more
    4. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 12

      4

      Slow down. Don’t be in a hurry in life. Slow down and enjoy the simple things. Time is a medium that helps us organize our days. Sometimes you have to follow the timetable, like when you’re on your way to work or getting your kids to school. But if you have no time commitments, learn to live in the moment.[19]
      Be patient with people. Think the best about them instead of the worst. Don’t think the person who bumped past you is a jerk; instead, understand that he or she may be late for work or to pick up their child.[20]

      • Don’t be in a hurry to get to the store and get back. Enjoy the scenery as you pass by. While in the store, notice all the fine and colorful fruits and vegetables that are there for your nourishment, and realize that others are not as fortunate to enjoy the same benefits. Buy some extra nourishing food to give to the food bank to help feed others. Suggest to the manager there should be a food drop off sold at discount somewhere in the store for the poor.
      • Only use the car horn in an emergency situation. Don’t blow it at a little old man that can barely see over the wheel or someone driving extremely slow. Realize the driver may be taking his/her time so he/she doesn’t injure him/herself or someone else. If they rush past you, understand that they may be in a hurry for something important. Even if they are not, why add to already negative feelings?[21]
        Anger only begets anger.
    5. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 13

      5

      Practice forgiveness. Forgiving someone can be a difficult task. Realizing that people are human and make mistakes helps you let go of negativity so you can forgive the person and move on.[22]
      When you forgive, you let go of resentment that can cause anger, bitterness, and turmoil. Forgiveness also makes you more compassionate towards others.[23]

    6. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 14

      6

      Be honest. Lying violates trust and destroys relationships. Instead of lying, be honest with those around you.[24]
      Good people are honest and direct with what they’re feeling and thinking. Talk to those people who are bothering you, instead of lying or getting others involved. Don’t be passive-aggressive.[25]

      • Have integrity. Make your word mean something. If you say you are going to do something, then follow through on that promise. If circumstances arise that make it so you can’t do it, be honest and direct and let the person know.[26]
      • Being honest doesn’t mean being rude or cruel.
    7. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 15

      7

      Make these small gestures a daily habit. Doing simple things, such as smiling at someone or holding the door open for a stranger, will help you become a better person. Soon enough, these small acts of kindness will become a habit that you don’t even have to think about.

    8. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 16

      8

      Be empathetic. Understand that being kind, understanding, and compassionate in how you treat others is largely the result of having a loving and caring attitude towards others. Try to put yourself in other’s shoes and see things from their perspective.[27]
      Ask yourself, «How would I feel if I were the other person?» You will likely act with the other person’s feelings in mind. This will show in your words and actions. Be kind not so you look good to others, but more so others may benefit from your selfless acts.

      • It doesn’t work very well if you are merely trying to be diplomatic. Don’t adopt a policy like, «Anything for a quiet life.»

    1. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 17

      1

      Accept everyone around you. Part of being a good person is not being judgmental. You accept everyone, no matter what race, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, or culture they are. Realize that everybody has feelings, every person is valid, and everyone should always be treated with respect.

      • Be respectful of elderly people. Realize that you will be old someday and may need a helping hand. Next time you go to a mall, parking lot, or anywhere, look for an old person struggling with something, like carrying bags or loading groceries into their car. Ask, «May I help you with that?» You will be doing a great service for seniors. Sometimes you may get one who will reject your offer; simply say, «I understand, and I wish you a good day.» Or when you are out and see an old person alone, say hello with an amiable smile and ask how they are doing. Just acknowledging someone can make their day.
      • Be compassionate towards intellectually disabled people. They are people with feelings too. Give them a big smile and treat them like a person. If other people are smiling or laughing with your interaction with them, ignore them and keep your attention on the person who is your true friend.
      • Don’t be racist, homophobic, or intolerant of other religions. The world is a large place full of diversity. Learn from others and celebrate differences.
    2. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 18

      2

      Control your anger. When you argue with someone, try to control your anger. Don’t hide or be rude when you are in an argument with a friend. Talk to them and work it out. It is best not to fight fire with fire, perhaps suggesting that the both of you take some time to think it over. Say, «I want to resolve this with you because you are such a good friend. Let’s take time and think this out.»

      • Don’t blame others. Accept what is your fault, talk to others about what they have done to upset you. But blaming others fosters negativity and resentment.[28]
      • If you can’t let go of your anger, try writing down your feelings, meditating, or managing your thoughts.[29]
      • Don’t try to correct people when they’re angry by saying something irrational. Just listen with compassion and remain quiet. Say to them, «I’m sorry you feel this way, is there anything I can do to help?»
    3. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 19

      3

      Compliment people. Saying nice things to people is an easy way to spread positivity. Compliment a co-workers new haircut or a stranger’s dog.[30]
      Compliment friends who you might be jealous of. Giving credit where due is respectful, and you would want the same respect for an achievement you’ve accomplished.

    4. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 20

      4

      Be a better listener. People rarely take the time to listen to people. Everyone wants to feel important and like they matter. Take the time to listen to people.[31]
      Follow what the person is saying. Don’t get distracted by what’s going on around you or play on your cell phone.[32]
      Be engaged with the person and the conversation. Ask some follow up questions on the topic; this helps them know that you’re paying attention to them.

    5. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 21

      5

      Celebrate other people’s victories and good qualities. Be kind and generous to others, liking them for who they are. Celebrate others when good things happen and don’t be jealous. Be supportive and encouraging.[33]

      • Jealousy is hard to overcome. Try to realize that you don’t have to have the same things as everyone else. Try to stop feeling jealous of other people.
    6. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 22

      6

      Be a role model. Sometimes, you can learn best by teaching. Make yourself available to help other people and foster a genuine desire to see them thrive. Believe in the power of your actions to influence others. Live your life in a way that inspires others. Share your life and philosophies with others. Find someone to be a role model to. Be cautious of the way you live so that you will always be acting in a way that will make someone proud. Give the young good moral values to live by and teach them the importance of morals. Sometimes you will feel as if your effort was in vain, but realize that you have planted the good seed in their minds, and it may take some time to respond to it.

      • When other people see you doing good deeds, they will be reminded to take more positive action themselves. Nurturing someone else and striving to be an example can help you see your own acts more clearly.
      • Start small. Join a Big Brother-Big Sister program, volunteer to coach a kid’s sports team, teach, or be a role model for young family members.[34]
    7. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 23

      7

      Share. Share your possessions, your positivity, and your happiness. Don’t be emotionally stingy. Be generous and encouraging. Share your knowledge. Share opportunities. Share your time.[35]

      • Share your food with others. Never take the biggest slice of pizza or piece of meat, or if you absolutely must do so, split it with others.
    8. Image titled Be a Good Person Step 24

      8

      Respect everyone. Be fair to all people. Treat everyone with kindness, and do not be mean or rude to people, even if they don’t agree with you. Do not bully, but instead, stand up for the bullied.

      • Don’t talk about others behind their backs. Be a genuine person. If you have a problem with someone, confront them in a respectful way. Don’t spread bad things about them when they are not around.
      • Don’t unfairly judge people. You don’t know the circumstances surrounding them. Give people the benefit of the doubt, and respect their choices.[36]
      • Treat others the way you’d like to be treated. Remember the golden rule. Put the energy out into the universe you’d like to receive.
      • Respect extends to your surroundings, too. Don’t throw trash on the floor, don’t purposefully mess up things, and don’t talk too loud or be obnoxious. Respect that other people share the same space as you.[37]

    • You may make mistakes, but never repeat the same mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and help yourself grow stronger as a person.

    • Remember, happiness is a state of mind. The only thing in the world that we can control is ourselves, so choose to be happy and control yourself by purposely maintaining a positive mental attitude.

    • When people attempt to put you down, don’t talk back or take it to heart. Instead, laugh or shrug it off, or simply say you’re sorry they feel this way. This will show you are too smart to sink down to their level and will prevent you from being harsh, aggressive, and a bad person. Not to mention, when they see how well you handle the situation, even your aggressors may back off or lose their interest in insulting you.

    • Recognize that you may find it more difficult to be kind and understanding in practice than in theory — just keep working at it.

    • The areas relating to others which you could most likely improve in are quite possibly the ones which you are least willing to admit that you are wrong in; that’s exactly why you can benefit so much from facing that you may be wrong or out of line in how you relate to or treat others.

    • As much as possible, seek to have a sense of humor about these things — both with regards to the mistakes you’ve made and the sacrifices you anticipate you will need to make to be nice.

    • Remember that you are still human — for as long as you live, you will have a tendency to sometimes make mistakes; that’s okay. Everyone makes them. Do the best you can, and if you occasionally make mistakes or are not as nice as you’d like to be, just bring yourself back to focusing on thinking of others as much as yourself.

    • If someone asks you for help and it involves doing what they should do alone never do it! It’s cheating and simply teaches the person that cheating is fine.

    To be a good person, make sure to love and accept yourself so that you can be more accepting of others.
