How To Be A Better Person

Everyone wants to become a better person, but some people just don't know how.
At the end of each day, I'll like you to reflect and see what you can do to become a better person. Not only that, but you need to have a goal of leaving an imprint on the world for doing great things.
By setting aside some time each day to reflect on what behaviours were good and bad.
After learning what it means to be a better person, you'll be able to develop your persona into someone you don't mind being. You'll be a lot happier with who you are and you would have no problem telling your future kids the type of person you are.
Here are some ways to be a better person through self:
1. Be Willing To Change
In order to become a better person, you have to be willing to change. Change is the only way to grow and progress into the person you want to become. Many people are against change, which can make it very hard to grow. When you keep an open mind and are willing to change, you are able to grow into the person you want to become.
2. Stop Making Excuses
Don't make excuses every time something goes wrong. Don't blame others, or blame the customer, or anyone else involved. Instead, taking accountability for your own mistakes is extremely important. Stop making excuses, take the blame when it was truly your fault, and you'll be able to achieve so much more.
By understanding that you made a mistake, you will be able to use your mistakes to learn which in turn will help you in becoming a better person.
3. Stop Being Angry
Many people let anger and rage alter their decision-making skills. I used to be an angry person growing up, but I only saw it damage relationships with people.
Controlling anger is an extremely difficult skill to master, but it is very beneficial. Instead of getting angry, I decided to find a way to change my negative emotion. Staying angry doesn't help me or solve any problems, it only creates more of them. Find some way of relaxing your nerves when you're angry.
4. Be A Role Model
Sometimes you need to be a role model to someone to really get your act together. You can start small and be a "big brother" to someone, coach a kids' team, or be a role model to your children. No matter what you choose to do, always make decisions that the person looking up to you will respect.
5. Forgive Someone
Forgiving someone who hurt you is very difficult to do. When I got upset at someone for doing something, I could never forgive them. Humans are prone to making mistakes. Instead of holding mistakes against them for life, try to forgive someone. To become a better person, go through your past and forgive someone that did something to hurt you.
6. Listen To People
People are extremely busy with their careers, families, and lives. Everyone is in a rush, but people rarely ever have time to listen to what others have to say. Listening to people and giving everyone a voice is one of the greatest things you can do.
You get to meet some of the most amazing people, close some of the biggest deals, and develop connections that will last me a lifetime just by taking time to listen to people. Being a good listener can change your life in a positive manner.
7. Be Honest
Honest people are hard to come by nowadays. However, honesty is the best remedy for any situation. Promise yourself that you won't tell any
lies for a month straight. Challenge yourself to be honest by developing good habits. If you're a compulsive liar, start small by trying to be honest for 1 day. After you accomplish a smaller goal, increase the goal by 2 or 3.
8. Do Something You Don't Want To
Keeping an open mind and trying things that you wouldn't normally do is a very easy way to become a better person. Take a risk and challenge yourself to try something you've always been scared to do.
Be willing to get over your fears and give whatever positive thing you want to do a shot.
9. Surprise Someone Special
Do you have a loved one in your life? Whether it's your spouse/romantic partner, your children, or a family member, plan a special surprise for them. If you know someone who deserves a nice vacation or a new gift, go buy it for them. One of the most rewarding feelings in the world are knowing that you made someone smile. Surprise the special someone in your life by doing something out of the ordinary for them! Rather than let your life pass as a stream of experiences that you won't remember later or never stop to process their meaning, keep a journal to become a better person:
