How to Prove to Someone That You Are a Good Soul

Last Updated: July 4, 2022

Some people may not know the good in you, but there is good in everyone. You know that you are a good soul, but how do you prove it? Here is how you can show people the kind of good person you are.

Steps

1
Never tell a lie. Of course people won't trust you if you stretch the truth. Therefore, they won't see the good in you either. No matter what the consequence, you have to accept your punishment for what you did. Always remember that people will eventually find out. Liars never prosper.
2
Be a kindly person. Don't let your anger get the better of you. Don't be unkind to others. Instead, be supportive and reinforce their positive aspects. And when people aren't as kind to you as they should be, know that you are a bigger and better person.

3
Be open. Don't be shy and greedy. People automatically assume that people who act timid have something to hide. You will be thought of as a good soul if you are open, and kind to everyone.
4
Defend yourself. Cowards are not good souls. Though you do defend yourself, never start fights or arguments with others.
5
Be thoughtful. Thoughtful people are almost always thought of as kind-hearted souls. Give presents on holidays to friends and family, and put others before yourself.
6
Be responsible. Don't drink, drink and drive, cheat, be mean, steal, lie, or any other irresponsible things that people might do. All irresponsible people are thought to be bad souls.
7
Do good deeds. You can donate, help local soup kitchens, recycle, all of these deeds and more make you considered to be a generally good person.^{[1]

8
Surround yourself by good people. Bad people can influence all people-good and bad to do bad things. Being around bad people will make others assume you are bad too. Surround yourself by kind people who will do good deeds with you.
9
Surround yourself by good things. Things that you like and good things such as religious items make you feel happy and want to do good things to others.
10
Smile. Kind people have a smile on their face from the joy that they cause others. Kind-hearted people take joy in being kind to others.^{[2]

11
Enjoy other's presence. If people make the effort to spend time with you, you should never ignore them. You should enjoy your friends and family and the effort they put into enjoying your presence and kindness towards them.
12
Enjoy what you have. Good souls don't go around asking for what they want, but rather give others what they need.
13
Learn to forgive. Make an effort to understand the other person's side. Think about forgiving the one you are arguing with and why you are doing it. When someone offers an honest apology to you, never refuse it. You can't be a good soul and hold grudges all together.
14
Don't look down on other people. Good souls want to help those in need rather than laugh at their sad misfortunes. Don't use rude names such as crazy, stupid, ugly, and any others you can think of. Be the one who wants to help, because other people need you.
15
Be a leader, not a follower. Make your own decisions, because the other person's might not be a good idea. Kind people don't "go with the flow", especially bad ones. You should think of good ideas and goals and then stick to them. Don't let other people control your life.
16
Complete your tasks. When and if you are expected of something, you need to do it. Don't make a promise you can't keep. This also applies to goals. If you set your mind to something, don't give up.
17
Don't take advantage of people. Some people are so kind, they can be pushed to do things that they don't want to. If you know someone who is a "pushover", don't take advantage of them. Your friends are not your slaves. You should encourage others to be their own person.
18
Make it a point to remember the good aspects of others, for example how helpful they are, and thank them when you have the chance to.

I made too many mistakes that my ex said he probably won't trust me again, how can I earn his trust if he thinks I'm always being dishonest?

Community Answer

Show him that you are honest by keeping your words. We all make mistakes but how we reform those mistakes is what defines us. For now, try to live up to your words. If you said you'd do something, do it. If you said you'd arrive at a certain time then be there on time. keep your promises. Trust is earned over time. Baby steps.

It's impossible to say, but no one's higher self is better than anyone else's. Each is unique and meaningful.

If I looked at something I wasn't supposed to and I feel bad about it, do I have to own up to it even if no one asks if I did it?

No, of course not. You aren't confronted, so why cause trouble? It's best not to mention it.
