“The World is already a better place when you started to become a better person” ― Dido Stargaze
Everyone wants to be a better person in life but some of us are not aware how to be one. I am sure, every one of us has heard a famous quote, “nobody is perfect”, I agree with this but at least we can try out to be a better version of ourselves. Can’t we?
The answer is Yes! There are various ways through which we can improve ourselves, and this answer leads to many questions such as how to be a better person and what are the easiest ways to be a better you?
In this guide I am going to share some easiest methods that will help you to become a better person.
How Do You Become A Better Person?
1. Always Be Polite
Politeness is a sign of dignity, not subservience. – Theodore Roosevelt
The act of kindness is so effortless and such actions can make someone’s day. If someone is rude to you, understand the reason and the pain that they are holding into it.
If someone holds the elevator door for you or just a “Thank You” makes you happy then imagine if you are doing the same to others, you are sharing kindness and happiness with them.
People will try to restore their faith when we as a person start to keep kindness and politeness between us. Have you tried to make someone’s day? Share it in the comment section below.
2. Listen To Others
“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.” –Bryant H. McGill
When you are listening to someone, you are respecting them in every possible way. They will start telling you how their day went and what they will have for dinner.
As you can see, nowadays everyone is so busy with their lives that they barely have time to talk or listen to their loved ones. But you can start responding to their problems and needs. How? The simple answer is only by listening. This act will assure them that you are valuing their opinion and don’t forget to tell them where they are wrong. This is another best method to be a better person.
3. Be Supportive
“People appreciate and never forget that helping hand especially when times are tough.” Catherine Pulsifer
I personally feel that when you are helping or supporting someone, you are actually transforming yourself into a better person. I am not saying that you must support everyone around you but at least be supportive to your loved ones or your friends.
When you are into good deeds, somewhere in the world you are also creating good karma. Well, we will talk about Karma some other day!
Honesty mate, trust me when you start offering support or help it will give you immense pleasure. Try it for once!
4. Accept Responsibility
Taking responsibility for oneself is by definition an act of kindness. – Sharon Salzberg
Alright so here the term responsibility means not about you or your family. Being responsible is for society and other people around you. But before taking responsibility make sure, you don’t blame anyone when nothing feels right.
For me, I firmly believe that if you want to be a better you, start taking responsibility for your emotions, failures, actions. In a nutshell, have authority over everything that you can control.
5. Forgiveness ! [M U S T]
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. – Mahatma Gandhi
Forgiveness is important my friend. It’s okay if someone has cheated you or did wrong to you. But forgive you know why? For your peace and happiness. I understand it is difficult to hurt someone who hurt you but holding some negative emotions for them will drag you back every time.
Understand, we humans are made to commit mistakes, but instead of holding a bag of grudges and complaints try to let them go and forgive those who hurt you in the past.
