1. Be honest
This is probably the most basic rule, but honesty is something that should never go out of style. If someone asks you if you are doing something, just tell them no matter how much they want you to lie. This doesn't mean you have to be completely honest about everything, but you don't need to exaggerate your actions either.
2. Be kind
Kindness is not just a word that we say. Being kind is a way of life. When someone needs your help, do not hesitate. Make sure they are okay first before going about anything else. Do not make assumptions. Know what happened in somebody's life before trying to help them. This includes knowing what they are feeling inside. When you're being honest, you can always try to be kind whenever possible. Even if someone does something wrong, they may not deserve to get hurt. You shouldn't give harsh criticism without thinking about what they've done, but you definitely shouldn't ignore their wrongdoing either.
3. Love people
Love can never die. If you have friends, love each one of them no matter how small their actions may seem to you. You will always find something positive in everyone. Remember that even those who hurt you once, did so out of fear. They did not know any better than you did. Give them the benefit of the doubt.
4. Help others
If you see someone in need, don't be afraid to offer your assistance. Even if it seems insignificant to you, helping people will change your life for the better. You might even become stronger after doing so. If you notice someone struggling with something, try to help them. There is no greater feeling than knowing that you've done something worthwhile for someone else. That might not seem like much, but sometimes small gestures can mean everything. Offer to get them coffee or lunch. Have them over for dinner. Give them a hug. Anything that shows them that you care.
5. Be nice
Don't judge people based on their appearance. You never know what they are going through, even if they look bad. Maybe they have just been working out too much. Perhaps they haven't had enough sleep. They may be stressed about something at home. Or maybe they're just having a hard time dealing with life right now. Don't assume that someone is a horrible person just because they don't look good. If you can make them feel better, do it. If they look like they could use some company, offer to talk to them. Even if you don't think you'll be able to help, it's better than nothing. And who knows? Just maybe you'll find out they need your kind words.
6. Take action
No matter how noble your intentions are, don't sit around doing nothing. Do something! Make a difference in this world. Try to change other people's lives for the better. Maybe you can volunteer your time to help those less fortunate than yourself. Or maybe you can start a campaign to raise money for charity. Whatever you decide to do, take action. Nothing changes unless you act.
7. Don't gossip
Everyone likes gossiping, but this isn't worth your time. Someone else's business is their own, even if they do something terrible like spreading lies about other people. There are plenty of things going on in life that are none of our business.
1. Love your neighbor as yourself
