HOW TO BE A NICE PERSON
When we think of a nice person we see a person who is pleasant. The words
agreeable, helpful, understanding and reliable come to mind. In today's fast and often
selfish society it is unusual to find someone who is actually nice. Let us put together a few
things that a nice person would do and that we might also like to do if we could.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you think that this sounds
like the bible, you are spot on! It is called the golden rule. If the action that you are taking
involves someone else and if on reflection you think that you would not have any problems
with the same thing happening to you, then it is probably OK.
Think of others before yourself. Do not always think "What's in it for me?" Try to do
a good deed every day. When I joined the Boy Scouts I learned that this was one of the basic
things that the founder of the scouts, Lord Baden Powell, had recommended. If you see a
little old lady trying to cross the road in heavy traffic, run across and help her. You might be
saving her life!
Ring your friends just to say hello. Be genuinely interested when you ask them how
they are and listen to their replies. Do not hesitate to offer assistance. A friend might need
to move furniture or need to have a lift somewhere. Give of your time unstintingly. This is
what friendship is all about. Visit sick friends in hospital. We all need minor medical
procedures from time to time and it is lovely to have a friend pop in to say hello. Offer to
water their garden or collect the mail for them while they are in hospital. Offer to help them
to buy food from the supermarket when they get home. Become a volunteer for a
worthwhile organization. Meals on wheels, Red Cross, charities etc. Every little thing that
you can do will help and be greatly appreciated.
Be known as a person who never has a bad word to say about others. Gossip and
slander never did anyone any good and only harm comes from it. Reflect on the sober
thought that today just might be your last day and you would like to do something nice for
another soul while you have the chance.
Chiropractic philosophy has always centered on the concept of the energy of the
body and its ability to flow throughout the body unimpeded. Doing good things such as I
have described will surely assist the flow of good energy and vibes throughout the
world and hopefully make the world a better place for us, our children and our
grandchildren.
