Are you a good person?

Life coach Karen Meager thinks that being a good person is less about helping others and more about helping yourself. People typically believe that being ‘good’ involves emulating biblical and mythical figures, but that idea of perfection is unattainable. To be a good person, it is vital that your actions and beliefs make you feel good as well as others.
 Dr Rick Hanson, a neuropsychologist and author, agrees that being a good person is more about having a positive mental attitude. He defines being a good person as “seeking the happiness and welfare of oneself and others”. To him, people are good when their core needs are met.
Ultimately, being a good person is not about over-giving. It is not about putting others first at every opportunity and sacrificing as much as possible to become a good martyr figure. In everyday life, being a good person is about serving yourself just as much as others.
Here is a test to see how much of a good person you really are.
