Are You a Good Person?

Good Morning.

It’s an uncomfortable question, but an honest one. Not in a moral sense. In a practical, everyday sense.

This isn’t about being perfect or always doing the right thing. It’s about how you affect the people around you.

You can usually tell a good person by how you feel after you’ve been around them.

It’s nothing big. It’s the way they handle everyday conversations.

They listen without rushing. They don’t judge or compare. You leave feeling comfortable being exactly who you are.

If you’re wondering what kind of person you are, pay attention to what people become around you. More open? More relaxed? More themselves?

That’s usually the answer.

Have a great weekend.
