How to Become a Good Person

Most of us have been taught that being good means sacrificing yourself for others.

Maybe that means putting others’ needs before your own, and we’ve learned that this is the path to peace and happiness.

Well, that’s not at all what I’ve experienced.

I did this myself. Many of my clients come to me because this is exactly what they do.

So, what happens to these beautiful, empathetic souls who just want to be good?

They end up with no support for themselves.

They become easy prey for bigger personalities.

They get taken for granted.

They bottle up their own emotions — including rage — while trying to keep it together.

Eventually, they become resentful, bitter, anxious, depressed, or just plain exhausted.

I don’t need to tell you there’s a downward spiral from here... until they get help, of course.

But luckily, things are different now.

When you’ve carried others for so long, created these patterns of self-deception, and finally had enough —

this is when your “weakness” becomes your superpower.

When you crack open from all the sadness, disappointment, and rage caused by being fed a lie that life should be lived that way, you open up for the light to shine through.

Your fire awakens — the long-asleep bear who fiercely loves herself and others.

No more bullshit. Straight from the source of your power, you rise. You know the choices you have, where they can take you, and you do the true right thing — from your own source.

This is what being good really is: doing what’s right for you. Otherwise, you’ll just get sick. Easy as that.

Or what do you think?

Is there an easier way?

Does it awaken something within you?
