No one is perfect, and saying that I want to be a better person does not mean in any way that I’m not a good person, but I just want to be a better person, someone who’s good, with a pure heart and has so much love to share with the world.
I believe that there are many things that you can do to become a better person. If you want to become a better person physically, you can eat well, exercise, quite smoking stuff like that, but what’s really important is to become a better person spiritually and emotionally, how do you do that?
The first thing you need to do is stop saying “I”, and just try to be selfless. Do a good deed without expecting a gain from anyone, just do it because it feels good, because it’s right.
My friends and family always tell me that I’m a very sensitive person, it gotten to a point where I can’t watch an emotional scene on TV without crying, everything makes me cry, and if someone is rude to me or raise his voice at me, I get this chocky feeling at the back of my throat and I start crying. I might not look like it, but I’m defiantly the most sensitive member of my family and I believe I got that from my mom.
People always saw that as a sign of weakness and to be honest a lot of people took advantage of that, sometimes people take me for granted because they know I wouldn’t fight back or yell or make a scene. Perhaps it’s a curse, perhaps it’s a blessing, who knows!
I think it’s good to be sensitive, it’s good to sympathize with people, it’s good to cry and be emotional sometimes, we’re humans we’re allowed to feel, that’s how we distangush ourselves from rocks!
How many times have you held the hands of someone your really care about and told them you love them? Weather it’s your mom, your dad, your brother ,your sister or your best friend? When was the last time you did that?
Expressing love is not something to be embarrassed about, and it’s not a sign of weakness, it’s actually a sign of confidence and an expression of how you really feel.
So go a head tell the person next to you how much you love them, my cat is sitting next to me while im writing this and I just told her I love her, and she meawed at me, which I think is her way of saying I love you back.
Trust me it feels good.
Sometimes I just don’t understand people when it comes to apologizing, a lot and I mean it ..A LOT of people especially here in the middle east, see apologizing as a sign of weakness and an indication that you have no dignity, which I think is pretty strange to be honest, because I wasn’t raised like that at all, or maybe it’s my personality, because whenever I go into an argument with someone or I have a fight with a friend, no matter who’s wrong or who started it, I always find myself apologizing, why? I don’t know, I just think it’s the right thing to do. afriend once told me, don’t you have any dignity? Wait for her to apologize first!
That doesn’t make any sense to me, why should I wait for her to come and apologize, and waste days of my life not talking to that person and holding all that anger and rage against her in my heart, it’s just not worth it.
I believe in my heart that everything no matter how big or small, can be settled with an apology, especially if it was coming from the heart.
So if you recently hurt someone’s feeling call them, or go talk to them, be the bigger person, tell them that you’re sorry, trust me, it will feel good when you see that smile on their face.
Help out a stranger, do a good deed, even if it’s so small, like giving a person a chance to pass on the streets, or giving some water to a thirsty cat, or donating some of your old cloths to the poor, or perhaps help out an old lady at the supermarket by offering to carry her stuff, anything.. do anything that’s good, trust me you will feel GOOD, helping others is very rewarding.
Finally something I know works, is smiling .. always smile ALWAYS.. smile to everyone you see, trust me you will brighten up their day. I made lots of friends just by smiling trust me, it really works, besides.. a smiley face is a beautiful face.
I will start doing MORE of what I mentioned above. What about you?
Try it today, try it now.

Wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteWill comment on it later.
Once again, thumbs up!
Huda, thank you for writing this post! It shows that you are a person who is comfortable in criticizing yourself, and open for change ;)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about apologies; as I really don't see the fuss about who apologizes to whom first, and what it has to do with dignity!! If you did something wrong that hurt someone -whether be it intensionally or unintentionally, one must realize that human relations (friendships, family, etc.) are more important than anything else!
Keep it up, and keep smiling :D !
