We should all aspire to be good people. But we shouldn’t waste our time trying to prove it to others. As Paulo Coelho says, “Be a good person, but don’t waste your time trying to prove it.”
Life is too short to spend our time trying to convince others of our goodness. We should simply focus on being the best we can be. That’s it.

It’s interesting to see how people tend to give up only after their first try. Especially when they fail their first execution… I’m curious as to when this behavior is learned and became such a strict rule that it stops people from trying over and over again until they achieve their initial goal.
This can be something as small as a bad habit, or something as large as an entire way of thinking. Unlearning is important because it allows us to correct mistakes, adapt to new information, and change our behavior.
Many people reach adulthood without really knowing what brings them joy. Time spent without this knowledge means lost opportunities for real happiness. Studies show people who consciously do things they enjoy score 40% higher on the happiness scale than those who don’t. We chase success, relationships and material possessions but often forget to identify what truly brings us happiness.
