Wasn\u2019t it Henry David Thoreau who said \u201cGoodness is the only investment that never fails?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone\u2019s definition of \u201cgoodness\u201d is different. If you ask five different people about what being a good person<\/a> means to them and why <\/em>they do, you\u2019ll have five different answers on your hands. Besides being for the sake of, well, being good, are there any other benefits to it? And when you start thinking that it\u2019s kindness isn\u2019t rewarded, come back to this and you\u2019ll see why it is<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

It Gives You a Sense of Purpose<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For one thing, being a good person\u2013 or embarking on the journey to become better<\/em>\u2013 has this amazing, rejuvenating effect of giving you a one of a kind sense of purpose. There is nothing quite like that rush when you commit an act of kindness\u2013 a rush that has a scientific name, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actions are always accompanied by one of two things: a sense of accomplishment\u2013 or a sense of regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you strive for kindness and practice it daily, the more good things you\u2019ll accomplish in your life, and the fewer regrets you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll also find that goodness is linked to a sense of control. Who said being \u201cgood\u201d meant you had to have a weak or meek personality? If anything, an incredible amount of people reported that being good has given them a sense of control they didn\u2019t have before when they were more aimless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us give you an example. You\u2019re in a confrontation. You\u2019re trying to be the better person, but the other person just keeps on pushing your buttons. Resentment rises in you, your temper is on the brink of boiling over; you\u2019re on the brink of losing it\u2026suddenly, you feel it. A calmness dawns on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of feeling like you\u2019re losing control\u2013 control of the conversation, control of your temper, yourself<\/em>, you\u2019ll find yourself secure in the knowledge that no one should be able to control your mood. Don\u2019t they say \u201cKill \u2018em with kindness?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It Earns Respect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that pays off when you\u2019re a good, kind-hearted person is earning respect. Believe it or not, but more doors open your way when you are consistently kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And kindness equals respect in a lot of ways, and the respect of others equals more opportunities. See how the chain of events works? People in your life will trust you more. Coworkers will admire you. Soon enough, your pure reputation will speak volumes, even to people who have never met you. This also means you have a positive influence on the lives of those around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people think they can find shortcuts to life. In the movies, it works, right? Being bad or immoral pays off eventually, especially when you can get away with it. In reality, bad is just that: bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an insult, a disrespect to yourself to strive to be immoral. Because you know what? Being moral <\/em>is absolutely necessary for having self-respect. So by being a good person, you\u2019re also earning not only respect from others, but securing it for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll Be Happier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to happiness has been there all along. What you put out into the world comes back to you. If you\u2019re good, you will be rewarded with kindness and happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, what happens when you\u2019re at peace with yourself and others is that you\u2019re eventually able to take good care of yourself. Let go of notions of being selfless or selfish. You\u2019re just able to look after your own self better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, being good is accompanied by a lot of things. For one thing, it comes with passion. You choose what to be passionate about. You choose your wants and needs. And you decide how to get them in a way that benefits everyone, making you stronger and happier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being good also comes with being courageous, with being brave. In this modern day and age, it actually takes considerable effort to go against the grain, to stand up against injustice, danger, and social rejection. So in some cases, it\u2019s an active rebellion to choose to speak the truth and stay true to yourself. But once you do, it\u2019s insanely rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Good For Your Health<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If nothing will push you to be on your best behavior than this, few things will. Stay tuned for the last reason that is bound to convince you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It actually is <\/em>not just mentally healthy for you to practise being a good person. It affects your entire body. How so? Let\u2019s see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kindness boosts your immune system, that\u2019s one thing. Oxytocin, also called the love hormone or feel-good hormone, is a hormone that your brain produces a little more when you\u2019re kind to others. The benefits of oxytocin are a mile long. It reduces inflammation, which is linked to all sorts of diseases and conditions, including but not limited to diabetes, chronic pain, obesity, and migraines. Oxytocin also lowers your blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also good for your heart! That red organ pumping inside your ribcage, your lifeline, all it needs is a little kindness to be noticeably healthier. Oxytocin also expands your blood vessels, hence another of its nicknames, the cardioprotective hormone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, but even the simple act of writing a nice note can boost those levels of oxytocin we were just talking about. Whether that\u2019s dedicated to a friend or family member, your immune system, blood pressure, and heart will thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Career Opportunities Will Rise<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You always hear advice such as \u201cyou can only rely on yourself\u201d or \u201cit\u2019s every man for himself.\u201d However, the world would be a lot better if everyone stopped believing in these statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that the simple act of being kind can produce a phenomenon known as the \u201chelper\u2019s high?\u201d Not unlike a \u201crunner\u2019s high,\u201d you feel a surge of energy, bliss, and inner peace following a selfless service to others. This concept became popular back in the 1980s and has been studied and confirmed in multiple studies since. Better health and increased longevity are linked to this concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cherry on top of this cake is that your career can also <\/em>benefit! Studies have shown that coworkers or managers that are seen as \u201cnice\u201d or agreeable are associated with increased professional success, as well as, of course, stronger relationships<\/a>, but we\u2019ll get to that in a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strive to be a good person. You never know when it\u2019s going to help you make a phenomenal first impression or receive a recommendation. It also makes it either to ask for help and for others to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It Strengths Your Relationships<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re not just known as the super nice person at work. The extent of being genuinely nice and kind to others deeply strengthens all your relationships\u2013 or at least, those that count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nicer you are to people, the more they like and trust you. And the more they\u2019re likely to feel comfortable around you and will want to talk to you more, and return or offer favors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If nothing else, it helps start <\/em>relationships as well. A lot of people feel the often debilitating effects of social anxiety. A trick to help you get through a disastrous attempt of small talk is falling back on your good nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be afraid that you\u2019re going to say the wrong thing or that you\u2019re going to clam up. Instead, think about the other <\/em>person, what they might be feeling or going through, and try to brighten their day. They\u2019ll never forget that act of kindness. Those who matter will notice your effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means that kindness pays back. It helps you build networks of people\u2013 people that you\u2019re going to need at some point; people who will share your burdens; people who you <\/em>will support; people who will love you and vice versa. Don\u2019t forget: people who feel like they belong in a group tend to live longer and face lower risks of heart diseases. They also experience less anxiety and lower chances of depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It Makes You More Attractive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter how attractive you are at this very moment, you\u2019re infinitely more attractive when you\u2019re perceived as a good person. It\u2019s science. One study chose to put this to the test. They gathered a random group of men and women and asked them to rate and judge the attractiveness of 60 photos. All photos feature expressionless female faces straight off Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This experiment\u2019s purpose was to study the phenomenon of, to put it in a nutshell, seeing a seemingly attractive person whose attractiveness dramatically decreases the moment they opened their mouths and said something rude or did something rude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks later, the participants were brought back and were told to rate the pictures once again. However, this time, the researchers gave them personality descriptors. They described some of the pictures as \u201cdecent\u201d and \u201chonest\u201d and others as \u201cmean,\u201d \u201chostile,\u201d and \u201cevil.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo and behold, during the first rating, there wasn\u2019t a significant difference in the rates among the groups. But with the second rating, the group given positive <\/em>traits received higher traits than those with negative personality descriptors. So the good people were rated as the most attractive at the end of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, being a good person is a good decision. And it\u2019s a decision you have to make on your own. However, now that you know the full benefits and effects of your behavior\u2013 both on yourself and on others. What\u2019s your <\/em>definition of being a good person?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
