No, going to church does not automatically make you a good person. Good people stand out in the way they relate to others.
They are trustworthy and full of integrity. Even in the absence of onlookers, you can count on them doing the right thing.
They also have these 15 traits.
1. Humility
Humility is very rare, and yet it is one of the most defining traits you can find in good people. This person does not live for praise and admiration. Their egos remain in check even when they do miraculous things.
2. Reliability
You can always count on this person to deliver on what they promised. They follow-through, and unless impossible odds get in their way, you can count on them trying all they can to do what's expected of them.
3. Genuineness
Genuine people are rare these days. Very rare. However, good people are genuine and full of integrity. They mean what they say and are frank and honest.
4. Helpful
When you need help, a good person will easily give it to you. This person cares deeply and would give you their time. Not just their money.
5. Trustworthy
A trustworthy person is not just someone who comes through because they stand to gain something from doing so. This person will keep a secret even when they have a reason not to, such as when you don't hold up your end of the deal.
6. Kindness
Kindness is a trait you will never miss among good people. These people will usually go the extra mile to make sure someone who is feeling down feels better.
7. Sharing Credit
A good person will not take all the praise for a project they did with someone else even if the chance presents itself. They want you to get what's due to you, even if that means giving up some of their own time in the limelight.
8. Generosity
Good people will usually be very generous with their time and resources. They have no problem donating, giving tips, and offering their resources for the benefit of others.
9. Accountability
Nobody is perfect, but some people try hard as hell to prove they are. A good person, however, admits when wrong and takes responsibility for their actions.
10. Solution-Oriented
Every once in a while, life takes an unintended detour and we have to find our way back to the right path. Some people focus on putting blame on those they think are responsible. But good people prefer to spend their effort finding a solution to solve the problem.
11. Trusting Others
Good people are usually trustworthy, and they have no problem trusting others. They only stop trusting you when you give them a good reason to. They never bother you because you owe them, instead, they will take you at your word unless you prove otherwise.
12. Respecting Other People's Time
A good person will not unnecessarily waste your time. These people understand the value of time and will not mess with your schedule.
13. Seeing The Best In Others
A good person always sees your best side, and not your flaws.
14. Intuitiveness
A good person will often understand you without the need to explain yourself because they can tune in to your mood and know what's going on with you. That is why they seem like angels sent from above because they can respond to your unvoiced needs.
15. Motivating Others
Some people are happy when tearing other people down, but good people love to do the complete opposite. These people have a genuine desire to see others make it in life.
If you ever get a good person as a friend, then you will understand what true friendship is. The goodness these people carry with them makes them awesome human beings who are a delight to have around at all times.
