How to Be a Good Person

References: http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Good-Person

We must look to our inner feelings and our thoughts. Thinking positive thoughts, trusting those that offer you friendship, and dismissing both anger and hateful feelings, will result in a change from within us. We will think good thoughts, thus we will become good. We will do good, thus our entire persona will change. We will trust, instead of distrusting. We will care instead of being uncaring. We will help others in their time of need, instead of sitting back and waiting for someone else to help. We will in essence become a good person.

Steps

  1. Start each day with a plan. Think of what you would like to see and do. Then think of someone who is lonely. Someone who, perhaps lives alone, and has no family. Ask this person to join you, in your plan for the day. Share your time with them, ask them for lunch. This might be the highlight of their week. Be happy by making others happy.
  2. Offer to pet sit, when you know a friend is going on vacation. If you know a neighbor is sick, ask them if they need groceries, when you go food shopping.
  3. Stop and talk to someone who is lonely, share a cup of coffee and pick up the bill.
  4. Always be kind and never yell. Whatever you say, whenever you say it, do so in a calm, polite voice that is respectful to the other side.
  5. Assume each person you meet is a good person, and act likewise. If you see someone do something bad, try to consider what they are dealing with in their own life, and try to help them stop without yelling, accusing, or otherwise negatively confronting him or her. Instead, try to discover what motivated their bad act, and show them how it was hurtful. At the very least, you can get them to stop and then take steps yourself to undo the damage done.
  6. Whenever you can, try to help someone else. It could be at their work (or homework), at relationships and more. If someone asks you something, never dismiss them but try to be as helpful as you can, even if you don’t do what they asked. You can suggest to another to do what they wanted or point out who can help them.
  7. Help, even if you aren’t asked. You should look around to see if someone needs help and help them without prompting. It can be a simple thing, to help someone with something that he seems to have difficulties in or something you think he needs or will need.
  8. Make it a hobby to try every once in a while volunteer somewhere or do something really nice for other people.
  9. Don’t try to take credit when you’re nice. There is a lot of satisfaction in watching someone do something because you’ve helped him when he doesn’t know he’s been helped.
  10. Your heart is very powerful: Here is how Good deed can be express in life:
    • Good thought–even you did not do anything, sending caring and compassion thoughts to others around is one kind of good deed.
    • Simple kindness-includes a smile, open door for someone, be considerate, be more patient to those who serve you.
    • give with no expectation for reward (no matter they are thankful or not) and
  11. Believe in the power of your actions to influence others. When other people see you doing good deeds, they will be reminded to take more positive action themselves. This is truly the Power of One to make positive change in the world.
  12. Remember, Compassion and kindness spread.
    • “It is not how much you give, it is how much love you put in when you are giving”.
    • “It is not how much you do, it is how much love you put in when you are doing it”.
    • “Not everyone can do great deed, but everyone can do small deeds with great love”
