"I know I haven't always done things the right way. I'm just trying to reflect on how to make myself better, how to become a better man, a better person..."
It has come to my attention from some time now, that I have been referred as a "nice" or "good" person, and it really put me to take a look at my life in a different perspective...
Now, I think I have always look at myself as a typical good (and sometimes naive) guy, probably because I grow up with people who weren't really good persons, both friends and family, and maybe I never wanted to be them, still I see that being too nice is something that has taken a toll in different situation in both my personal and professional life and I realize now that I have not been "aggressive" enough in situations when, now I know, it was required, which lead me to find out that indeed, #NiceGuysFinishLast.
In the past weeks I been reflecting on what constitutes being a Good Guy and if I actually qualify, and maybe by comparative I might look "better" than some, but the reality is that I'm a long way: I lose my temperament more often that I would like to, I tend to be kind of a bully sometimes, sarcastic, and not always as caring to some people as I should. I think these behaviors are more common with friends or people I feel comfortable with, and that's even worse, I can't be such a "nice" person only as a front, I need it to be at all times.
I have come to a conclusion, I want to be a better person for those around me, I want to improve everyday, and even that I know that a day will come that I find the right person for me to share that, is important to improve for one self.
PD: I know I didn't listed steps or the process I would follow, and there is a lot in the internet for that, this is just how I feel.
