We understand that we want to be better, but have no clear definition
of what better means and that is part of the process. 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 on multiple areas of your existence. Since
you likely know innately 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 can
also 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. |
