How can I be a better person? How can you be a better person?

Everyone has sin and everyone is flawed, because no one is perfect. Many people strive for perfection but it is just an ideal and can never become a reality. Human beings are humans after all not robots. I find that I sin and falter many many times. What can I do to become a better person? I can learn from my mistakes and help those in need. Before I can help others I need to make sure that I am taken care of, so that I have the strength to help others. What can you do to become a better person? Examples: Better person in relation to loved ones and even strangers. =)

you can a better person if you accept your mistakes and if you asked sorry if you got mistakes then give pardon to the person who have done wrong against you say thank you and a message of appreciation to the person who appreciate you. That's what you call a give and take relatioship. Make a good example to those person who have unpleasant attitude.

I will try to do the Golden Rule and treat others, as I want to be treated. I can be a stubborn person at times but I do not like stubborn people myself, so I'll try and change my attitude to be more malleable and accepting of others. =)

Sins are invitations to humility (including repentance) and spiritual growth, and better prudence in the future. If all these three are available, you will grow as a better person than you were before.

I will try and repent and rectify my sins, so that I can grow spiritually and have a better future. I hope to be a good person when all is said and done and be judged accordingly, so that I may one day enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

You can be a better person if you learn from your mistakes. If a person is angry then he could count to 10 inside his head before saying something. Sometimes a person might say something thoughtless which ends up emotionally hurting another person. A person could change his or her career to do a job that cares for people. I am going to help a foreign mom that has a child at the playgroup my son attends. I would like to give her three ideas to make her happier. She needs to know about her son's disability and that he should get speech therapy. She could get free driving lessons if she wants to with a company that helps parents of disabled children. She could get her son more sessions that will help his speech. It is very good to help people that are in need.

It helps to remind us that by empathizing or putting oneself into the shoes of another one gets to be more sensitive of others and of their feelings. It helps by reminding oneself that others have as much right to live as one does. Something small which can have a big impact, try smiling.

A great way to improve a marriage is to try to be a better wife. It isn’t hard to be a better wife, and it is often worth it to put a little extra effort into a relationship to keep it strong. One way is, is to be conscientious of how you phrase requests. Don’t be a nag. State your request in a respectful way, and then let it go. This is one attitude that guys doesn't like, right? Nagging girls..LOL Another way, is to give your husband time to himself. Some men would love time to go golfing or have him a couple hours of an uninterrupted video game time. By granting your husband this time to himself, you will be showing him that you understand his needs, and that you care.

Best way to be a better person is to be able to accept your mistakes, be able to love someone FOR their mistakes and flaws, also to never give up (thats my 2 cents..)

The only person who can make you better is you yourself so whatever is wrong with me needs to be changed in order for me to become a better person. We all want to be better but we can only become better when we change to the better. No one of course is perfect but we can always become better persons by doing what we think are right.

Realize your mistakes and as much as possible, never repeat them. I know we repeat some stupid mistakes and it's just unchangeable. Once you see another one making that same mistake, you can help him make the change with the process you went through. Use your experience to change people who're in need.

What a nice question! If only all the people of the world will ask themselves, "How can I be a better person? How can you be a better person?", then the world will be a better place to live. Agree?

Good Morning dear Eddyspaghetti , well i find myself putting the same questions every end of the day , since in my nature i am a verry sinfull person and it really hurts me to be a mean person , but sometimes i just can't be different when i am constantly put under pressure , but that had changed from few months ago , when thanks to my dear sister , she was the only one who had the guts to tell me straight in face what my problems ware ,but she was also the one that told me that i cann have a normal and simple life too , more then that she showed me and for that i will thank God endlessy , hence ever since i go to sleep with one thought only , what good deed cann i do tommorow for my familly ,since they are the only one that trully matters in my life , since almost all the friends that i had backstabbed me and never ceised to take advantage of me and what i could of offer , that was the main reason that i used to be a verry mean person , now i have reduced my friends numbers to almost Zero , i say almost zerro because from all the entity of friends i used to have , only one single person was trully thinking about my well been , and that person was not familly but for me he becamed a Familly member and he gets also in my thoughts of what i cann do for these persons that i trully love , and want to change myself for them and make from myself a better person, in order to do so i follow theire lifestyles and try to improove theire moral situation and when i cann i try to spend as much quality time toghetter and whenever i cann i like to prepare them little surprises for them. Have a nice day dear Eddyspaghetti
