I am trying my best to be a good person but obviously, I have mistakes just like every other person. So what do you think is the best way to become a better person, in general?

Let me make something clear here. I love Christians but I do NOT intend on becoming one myself, no matter how much you preach your religion to me. But I would like to say Merry Christmas for those who believe. =)

learn to keep secrets and will be a trustful person. never run away when your mates are in trouble. just stand by them and they will stand by you too someday. try to be a patient person, never get over excited by life's temptations nor become too desperate or anxious. always be your self.try do the rit things and when you go wrong, never blame others nor try to find any fault from someone else, just take it as your fault and as a lesson. humble and respect your self first then others will respect you too and so will you too. these are a few i can say but most important is just be your natural self always, never pretend nor do things to please or hurt others but be honest. hope they are helpful

be Humble. trust me on this, after being humble everything else follows. accept the fact that you arent the center of the universe, then start being kind to ppl. even the little things like picking up a pencil when someone drops it, or holding the door a second longer so that someone can walk thru goes a long way. then u will start to feel good about yourself. from there just do what comes naturally.
oh yeah and ofcourse you're gonna mess up sometimes, but thats the beauty of life, learning from your mistakes and becoming a better person...
hope that helps

When Jesus was asked "What is the Greatest Comandment?"
He simply answered "Love thy neibourh as you would love yourself"...the way to become a better person is defenetly to love yourself first and then project your love and compassion into the people you meet..spread love around as if you were a flower with a marvelous scent.let averybody smell the perfume of your love and you'll be a better person..but do not forget: Love yourself first because if you love yourself you0ll become a better person...

The best way to become a good person is to practice kindness and forgiveness but not to the extent that others take advantage of you. It is also a good thing to have boundaries and to know how to say "no."

Easy--a good person is one who makes the lives of those around them better. A bad person is one who makes those lives worse.

its ALL about *karma* baby. if you dont know the term it means do unto others as you would have them do unto you. if your stuck in a pickle, just ask yourself..."self, would i appreciate it if ____ did ____ to me?" if you stay true to yourself, dont be a fake or phonie and do your best to keep a positive attitude, youll be just fine. p/s: dont gossip, thats tacky and hurtful.

You can't be good on your own. You need Jesus Christ to come into your heart and save and fill you with his goodness. Then you can let the goodness of God radiate through you.
