5 Ways to Become a Better Person

Somewhere between making mistakes and feeling a sense of guilt, we’ve all grown and that doesn’t mean any of us are perfect yet. Perfection is an unattainable measure, you could get close to it but not at it. So no harm in trying to reach closest to perfection.

1. Accept Change

Like they say, the only constant in life is change. Be willing to change in order to grow and progress into the person you want to become. The change in you makes you learn more about life and understand the various mentalities of people too. Every situation in life changes you in some way, so keep an open mind and welcome the change.

2. Be Polite

Manners that were inculcated into you since you were a kid, are basics for a lifetime. Simple words like ‘thank you’, ‘please’ don’t cost you a thing, and in return could make someone’s day. Pulling out a chair for someone, holding the door till they enter, these small acts of kindness go a long way in defining who you are. Don’t let others’ behavior determine yours. Be polite come what may. 

3. Surprise Loved Ones

What better feeling than seeing your loved ones happy? And that too when you’re the reason behind the smiles? Ecstatic. 

Surprise your loved ones with a surprise party, a midnight drive or the gift they’re yearning for. This strengthens bonds and feels downright good. As studies have proven, there is a directly proportional relationship of happiness between two loved ones and it knows no bounds.

4. Forgive and Forget

Forgive yourself as well as forgive others. Mistakes do happen, it’s okay. Let go of the resentment and negative experiences, this will automatically attract positive vibes into your life. Forgiving and forgetting can be practiced with a little help from yoga. There is no good return on holding grudges, instead, forget and let peace prevail within.

5. Let Go Of Making Excuses

Excuses, excuses excuses…  Do not abide by that word. Its capability to break your personality is immense. You didn’t want to go meet a friend, your work isn’t done by the deadline, are these reasons to come up with excuses? 

No. Be truthful, it’s okay, whatever is going to happen won’t affect you 5 years down the lane. So why defame your image with these silly excuses?

You’ve now found 5 great ways to become a better person, but don’t expect these 5 tips to change you overnight. It all takes time.
