At every turn, we are taught how to recognize bad people, but no one tells us how each of us should become a better person. How to work on yourself?
The epidemic of depression, which is spreading like a fever around the world, comes mainly from the fact that we do not realize and do not acknowledge it its value at this moment, and so have we become collectively ungrateful.
Think about the things that you they really make you happy, and you will see that there are a million reasons why you should be grateful for everything you have. And this is just a drop in the ocean, because you will have to work on many other qualities if you want to say that you are a good person.
A good man has many qualities that he nurtures and develops, but there are many forgot about them.
You cannot call yourself a good person if you DO NOT have these 5 qualities:
INTEGRITY
Integrity is the most powerful trait that tells you whether you are capable of doing what what you imagined. If the answer is affirmative, it means that you are considered in the eyes of other people to be sincerely and of trust worthy person. We all know that people who promise a lot usually do the least - such people are forced by their ego to show themselves as the best, even if in reality they cannot fulfill their words with their actions.
CURIOSITY
A condition for developing a sense of curiosity is the willingness to set free from the fear of judgment, because you are direct, different and ready to follow your ideas. The second condition is communication with people you may not even know. Be curious, learn as many things as possible and don't miss anything in life, what is offered to you.
GRATITUDE
As people became collectively unhappy and dissatisfied, gratitude became crucial for a happy life. The burden has shifted to the shoulders of the little man who has to worry about becoming the best version of yourself. The moment you start taking food, shelter, family, health and clothing for granted, you are deviated from the path. Gratitude can help you focus on experiences, things, and people that are special.
COMPASSION
The Dalai Lama said that compassion is a state of mind that wants the person who is suffering to free from this suffering. True compassion must therefore contain wisdom and love. You must understand the nature of human suffering if you want to help them. This is called wisdom. But you also need to experience deep pain, intimate connection and empathy with another sentient being. This is called love.
HONESTY
Honesty is a virtue of brave people. And we should include her in all spheres of your life. The most important thing is to be honest with yourself to begin with. This is key to personality development, and all relationships, especially intimate ones, they require sincerity as a strong foundation. If you start telling lies or hiding the truth, you will end up destroying the trust you have developed or are trying to develop. But once you lose it, it's gone difficult to repay.
