At some point in our lives, many of us
find ourselves overcome with the desire to become better people. While we
are all uniquely capable of navigating this world, we may nonetheless
feel driven to grow, expand, and change. This innate need for personal expansion
can lead us down many paths as we develop within the context of our
individual lives. Yet, the initial steps that can put us on the road to
evolution are not always clear. We understand that we want to be better
but have no clear definition of “better.” To ease this often frustrating
uncertainty, we can take small steps, keeping our own concept of growth
in mind rather than allowing others to direct the course of our journey.
And we should accept that change won’t happen overnight — we may not recognize
the transformations taking place within us at first.
Becoming a better person in your own
eyes is a whole-life project, and thus you should focus your step-by-step
efforts in multiple areas of your existence. Since you innately know
which qualities you consider good, growing as an individual is simply a
matter of making an effort to do good whenever possible. Respect should
be a key element of your efforts. When you acknowledge that all people
are deserving of compassion, consideration, and dignity, you are
naturally more apt to treat them in the manner you yourself wish to be
treated. You will intuitively become a more active listener, universally
helpful, and truthful. Going the extra mile in all you do also can
facilitate evolution. Approaching your everyday duties with an upbeat
attitude and positive expectations can help you make the world a
brighter, more cheerful place. Finally, coming to terms with your values
and then abiding by them will enable you to introduce a new degree of
integrity and dignity into your life.
As you endeavor to develop yourself
further, you can take pride not only in your successes, but also in the
fact that you are cultivating consciousness within yourself through your
choices, actions, and behaviors. While you may never feel you have reached
the pinnacles of awareness you hope to achieve, you can make the most of
this creative process of transformation. Becoming a better person is your
choice and is a natural progression in your journey of self-awareness.
