How do I become a 'better' person?

Answer 1

Stop looking for the answers in others and look for it in yourself. The fact that you will ask the question indicates you hold the answer. Only you know what your failings are and only you can address them. Good Luck.

Answer 2

I became better when I met Jesus, stopped doing some stuff that was hurting the people I loved. The Bible tells us to be new creations and to learn to think ways that sow good not bad, it's hard to explain but scientifically we create strong nuerol pathways the more often we do/think something, so if you do something bad over again that link becomes strong and you do it more often, the thing to do is consciously do things that are good and right (guided by the morals of Jesus or else we all have our own opinion) and in time those things will come more naturally to you than the bad stuff. The world has a bias towards evil since the Fall of man, it's time to put that right!

Answer 3

By even asking this question, you have begun the first step towards doing so.

Look critically at yourself, and your dealings with others in your life whom you meet regularly: your lover, friends, siblings, parents, even children if you have any, and close acquaintances you don't consider to be as close as your friends.

How do you relate to them? Are you rude? Arrogant? Other than your personal flaws and habits, are there things about them you know you should tolerate, but which really set your teeth on edge? Evaluate those feelings, and make an honest effort to show more tolerance towards their behaviour.

Two things you'll never really be able to control: others' behaviour, and others' perception of yourself. The only real things you have any chance of altering with any degree of control are your personal behaviour - habits, tics, etc; - and your attitudes towards others.

In order to be at least SEEN to be a better person, you could do worse than to seize control of those things you do have some modicum of control over. And maybe, unless your friends are really, really dense, they'll notice the subtle, gradual lightening of your soul and respond accordingly in a positive manner.

Otherwise, breathe, drink 2.5 litres of water daily, eat more fruits and vegetables and just enjoy your life. It ends quickly enough, and there never seems to be enough time to do everything you want to do, so just do the good things, and leave the bad things for others.

Answer 4

lots of practice. Each person has their own faults. And correcting those faults are hard to do. The best way to help you on the right track is to surround yourself with people who you consider to be "Good people" or who you think are "better" than you. That way, some of their "Good" habits will rub off on you. Then try acts of kindness you haven't tried before. Volunteer at a preschool. Something you don't see yourself normally do. Give yourself certain "Good" projects to accomplish everyday. With that and surrounding yourself with good people, you will find your mentality evolving into what you find is good....It takes practice.

Answer 5

You first need to define what a better person is. Then make changes based on what you want to become. There are whole sections at the bookstore on this subject in the self-help section.

Answer 6

By asking a better questions
Being better with yourself .. i mean like you should change yourself from the inside not from the outside .. and ask others what they think is the bad things about you .. and try to change it because they see things from the outside more than you from the inside ..
Notice : You may be a good person .. maybe better than what you know but people never appreciated you and it is about them not you

Answer 7

Decide to commit Random acts of kindness.
Decide to forgive people who might not even realise that they offended you.
Apologise if you do anything wrong or considerate.

Pray and go to church. Pray for everyone you come in contact with or see during the day.

Do some extra good things for those you live with.

God Bless You, ;-)

Answer 8

Simply think of others as your equal. That's respect, humility and selfworth in its truest and perhaps highest form. And that my dear friend makes you a better person...not necessarily better than others but better than your old self.

Answer 9

be a reflection of Jesus
He is perfect in every way and by doing everything iin your power to be perfect to you become a reflection of perfection
not saying that you or anybody else can ever be perfect but you are in God's eyes just by truley giving your absolute

Answer 10

Do your best. It is really hard when others don't behave in good ways to us but if we know it's wrong or nasty or spiteful we are not being true to ourselves and we have to try hard not to get sucked into negative ways. Try your best and know you are doing what you feel is right.
