We are reaching the end of the first month of this new
year and we may still feel that there is hope for our New Year Resolutions to
come true. In my case I always wish I could become a better person and then I
realized that this Resolution is not focused and could be easily betrayed.
Fortunately, this time while working on the many things I do at the beginning
of every year, I received this text and since it explains some things about
becoming a better person, I thought that sharing it with you might be a good
way to start. I adapted it from The Daily Om.
“At some point in our lives, many of us find ourselves
overcome with the desire to become better people We understand that we want to be better but
have no clear definition of “better.”
Becoming a better person in your own eyes is a whole-life project, and thus you
should focus your step-by-step efforts on multiple areas of your existence.
Since you likely know innately which qualities you consider good, growing as an
individual is simply a matter of making an effort to do good whenever possible.
Respect should be a key element of your efforts. When
you acknowledge that all people are deserving of compassion, consideration, and
dignity, you are naturally more apt to treat them in the manner you yourself
wish to be treated.
Going the extra
mile in all you do can also facilitate evolution. Approaching your everyday
duties with an upbeat attitude and positive expectations can help you make the
world a brighter, more cheerful place.
Finally, coming to terms with your values and then
abiding by them will enable you to introduce a new degree of integrity and
dignity into your life. Becoming a better person is your choice and is a
natural progression in your journey of self-awareness.”
