When I look at myself years ago, I'd see myself as a girl who lacked of self-confidence. I was so not contented with the things about me. Seeing those perfect human beings proudly walking right passed by me made my self-confidence more drown into the deepest part of the ocean. So then, I became a very anti-social person, scared of crowded places, afraid of what people might say. I did not like who I was becoming and I wanted to change that. So I decided to work on becoming a better person and wrote my own ways. After all, it is quite unhealthy to live a life of self-hate, isn't it?
Today, I'm a lot happier with who I am. I can't say that I've attained my ideal self because there's still so much more to work on. Now, I would like to share with you my own ways to be a better person. I made this not for making myself liked by others but for making myself better as a person.
Here are some of my ways:
BE ABLE
There are always new things to learn no matter how much you already know. Learn something new every single day. Also, stock yourself with skills. The more skills you have, the more able you become. But with the current skills you have, you must strengthen them. Remember as the saying goes, "There is always a room for improvement." 😉
BE GENTLE
Bring out the gentle side in you. It will make you a warmer person to be with.
BE FAIR TO EVERYONE
First, don't never ever judge. Don't make conclusions about others' character of their life based on some things you see about them. As they say, always give others the benefit of the doubt. Second, don't discriminate. Give fair treatment to everyone. Lastly, don't speak ill to people behind their back because it's unfair to them. Give them the chance to defend themselves once in a while.
BE GRATEFUL
Be grateful for the good things that you have, not everyone gets to have them.
HAVE FAITH IN EVERYTHING
Do your best within your dimensions, dont put too much pressure on everything but instead, have faith that someday everything will fall into its own place.
BE CONFIDENT
I learned to be confident in who you are and what you do. There is no reason not to be.
BE KIND, BE FRIENDLY, BE HUMBLE
Always look for opportunities where you can help others.
BE GENEROUS
By giving, you get to gain even more. Find simple happiness in giving. As they say, what goes around, comes back around.
BE CURIOUS
Have an eager for knowledge so you will always be learning new things.
Ask questions more often. The more you asks, the more information you can discover.
Get also a feedback from others. I do believe that the feedback is one of the fastest ways to pinpoint the areas of betterment.
BE HONEST
Be honest
even if others are not,
even if others will not,
even if others cannot.
BE ADVENTUROUS
Step out of your comfort zone and do something you have never done before. It will widen your mind and make you fearless.
There are still a lot of ways to be a better person but those ways above that I've shared with you guys are just my so-called STARTER PACK.😁
