We all can adapt, people can know us for a particular habit or attitude and the next minute we are changed, totally transformed to acting as another. Humans revolve around these personalities, our adaptive features has made it possible to transit from one trait to another, a good guy today turns bad tomorrow, the thug of an area becoming the pastor tomorrow, the ones also who rather not picking a side, you don't know where they fall in, they are good but can be bad too.
We all know where you fall in, it's a way of life we can't run from. More reason why we can't write off anyone just yet, that girl who has been living a kinda life and you feel nothing good could possible come her way, you'd be shocked at the level of transformation she has undergo in the twinkle of her eye. Life on its own is full of surprises.
Similarly, you too are human and one of our unique features is adaptation, normally we adapt without noticing it for ourselves, also we adapt by planning to adapt ourselves. Sometimes we have traveled to a new location, at first we fall sick but after a while we become so familiar with the place, we can now live as its our home already.
Therefore, if you're bad, like you know you're real real bad, and you really wanna change yourself, then you should know it's a 100% possible, you can be who you wanna be, there's no stopping you, the ball is in your court, who cares about what people say, your reputation doesn't feed anyone, oh yes, you don't live for anyone, you live for yourself and your family at least, so do the best for them, when things take another route, it'll be you alone or with a selected few bearing the brunt, no the people you're currently living to please.
The good, who are the good, how do you ascertain someone is good, how sure your perceptive it the right one. Well you could be right, but even the good don't say they are good, their works speak it out for them, countless number of people have been good to others, there are actually people whose sole source of joy is making people happy, they just get joy from making another person smile.
You can bear the sight of your neighbor being hungry, you find all means in your reach to extend a helping hand, then you are good, no one has to judge, that is the definition of goodness, when you heart is geared at doing right, could be harsh but its right, may not be favourable to you or your loved ones but its the right thing to do, for instance, someone misplaced a huge Sum of money that could very much change your life, and your family is in fact in need of help, but you still gotta return it because its right. Oh you're just too good. But the question remains "how long can you remain good".
Do you know the good really get hurt the most, it takes a little to be good, but it takes a lot to stay good, life has its game, if you're aware you're only climbing a ladder and going higher to the top of your game, you might just give up on being good, when you expect people to always appreciate you for your kindness, then permit me to say you aren't really ready to remain good, you might not get people to always show appreciation, in fact many a times be prepared for some back stabbing, because you can only help, you can ascertain if you're helping the good or the bad, you don't know if the individual will be loyal or just looking to extort, so let your motive for being good be pure, this way you are shielded when the feedback isn't worth your time.
This advice coming up, you don't really get it that much, most times you'd hear " stop being bad, be good ", but in a world as cruel as this, being bad has become an occupation, being bad now puts food on the table when nothing else does, but is it wrong? Yes what's bad is bad, but telling some people to change is like telling them to stay hungry, so here it is, " stop being bad, try doing good, and deliberately see reason to remain god".
It doesn't all end in a day, if you rush the process you might hurry back when your patience is tested. First step is move from being bad to being in between, at this stage already some actions are different, then while you're here, see reasons why you should be good, well we'll all die one day, doesn't matter if we like it or not, we all have a limited time to spend on earth, so being good would definitely pay on the long run, that's one great reason amidst others, like good things attracts unmerited favour your way, giving ensure you continue to have.
Be good and remain good, if you're in between, do move more to the good side, be stable. Should in case you're undoubtedly bad, start your movement today, take it slowly, each day get a reason to continue to be good. And keep moving. However it is, whatever it is, we must always try to be good. Being good is good business.
