BELIEF SEVEN: ALWAYS CHOOSE, “WHAT IS THE GOOD THING TO DO.

If you see the word ‘always’ in a true and false test you should answer false. But I am going to use it here because it is a wonderful guide for becoming a better person.  In fact it is the single most important tool for becoming the best person you can be.  Therefore, more than anything else always chooses “What Is the Good Thing to Do” when seeking to change, grow, or become a better person. It is the concluding guide I leave with you.

Choosing what is the good thing to do will work because it is in synch with the natural you. It is both a choice and an action. By asking the question your conscience is activated and given a chance to inform you. Furthermore, if you use this choice to guide your life you will not only change but change towards being a more joyful and happy person. It is compatible with being loving, forgiving, responsible, non-judgmental, and putting others ahead of yourself.

If you are a religious person the question of “What is the Good Thing to Do?” is the same as asking, “What Would God Have Me Do?”  Regardless of how you ask the question you will be able to know what is good and true just at the moment of action when you need it. What more could you ask for when seeking self-improvement, self-change, and wanting to become a better person.
