What It Really Means To Be A Good Person

Sometimes it’s hard to be a good person.

Some people think it makes them look stupid or weak. However, this could not be further away from the truth.

It takes patience, strength and self-control to be a consistently good person. Being a good person can be challenging, but when you are a good person, do you not feel good?

It’s much easier to be happy – and healthy – when you’re always trying to find the good in others.

Being a good person does not mean being a fool

Being a good person is sometimes confused with being a fool. This leads to misunderstandings, such as believing that you should act in the same way as people who treat you badly.

However, it is important that you always remember to make wise decisions. Here are some tips to prevent others from exploiting you:

• Do not let anyone hurt you, including yourself. If someone abuses you, then your health is in danger. Reporting this abuse will not make you a bad person; it means you are kind and smart enough to take care of yourself and your loved ones. Reporting abuse and getting help is the right thing to do.
• Do not let toxic people manipulate you. It is not good for you to find yourself in unpleasant situations just to make other people happy. Do not let others manipulate you.
• Never be a martyr. You may think that being a good person means suffering and finding yourself in situations that you do not like. However, this could not be further away from the truth. You do not have to carry other people’s problems with you. Instead, just show them patience and kindness when you are together.

Do not let people hurt you because you are nice to them. You deserve respect, love and attention just as much as everyone else.

Be a good person to yourself

Being a good person is not just an outgoing attitude. In addition , you need to think about yourself and also pamper yourself!

You have probably heard that if you want to love someone else, you must first love yourself.  That’s exactly what we’re talking about.

That is why our first point is so important. If you want to keep people from exploiting you and avoid being accepted for a fool, you have to be good to yourself.

This involves valuing yourself and respecting yourself above all else. It means saving yourself before you help others.

This is not a selfish act; that’s what you deserve.

It is ingrained in you to think of yourself is a negative thing. But that is not right or good.

Over time, you will end up being exhausted from being humiliated and lied to, tired of being manipulated and only loved when it is convenient for others.

We are all humans. You will end up being a victim or even the opposite of a good person. We all get tired of being exploited.

Being a good person is not what you thought

We are often very wrong on it when it comes to our belief in what is good and right.

Remember that mistakes are not negative, but positive ways to move forward? Well, the same thing is happening here.

Now we want to touch on a few things that open the eyes to the reality of what it means to be a good person.

When necessary, leave them

You might think that by not leaving people who are hurting, you are doing the right thing. But if you are not feeling well, if they are manipulating you and you are not happy, then you should leave them.

You have the right to say what you think

Telling others what they want to hear will go against what you really believe and want to say. You must not lie to yourself or them.

Always be sincere even if they do not take it nicely and may even get hurt.

You can say “no” whenever you want

Saying “no” does not make you a bad person. After all, you have your own obligations and problems. You do not have to sacrifice your time on others if you can not or just do not want to.

You do not have to be perfect

Good people do not have to be right in everything. They make mistakes and make mistakes, just like everyone else. Learn from it and do not deny or reject it.

This will make you even better!

Remember being good does not mean being a victim or letting someone take advantage of you. Appreciate yourself, love yourself and learn from your mistakes every day.

Good people are not perfect, but neither are they foolish.
