A Good Man’s Everyday 10-Things-to-Do Checklist

What is a good man anyway? It depends on who you ask or where you’re from. One thing’s for sure, we ought to strive to be a good man everyday. We’re not perfect but we show up for the people and moments that matter the most. Not for fame or glory but because we want to live our best life. 

Here’s a simple checklist to get you started. Nothing fancy here and no right or wrong answers. Most of all, it turns out that being a good man is free :) 

1. Say Please. Thank you. Sorry. Especially to strangers. It doesn’t get simpler than that.

2. Pay someone a compliment but you have to really mean it. It’s guaranteed to make someone’s day.

3. Random acts of kindness. Offer help to strangers.

4. Hold the door open for someone.

5. Smile often! It’s infectious and the world notices.

6. Dress a little nicer than you were intending to. Wear nice perfume. Because you’ll never know.

7. Listen intently. Make good eye contact. Don’t interrupt.

8. Laugh often - and feel free to laugh at yourself!

9. Good posture.

10. Connect with people. If it’s someone’s birthday/anniversary - greet them. If someone got promoted/had a new baby/achieved something important - greet them. If you haven’t heard from someone in a while - greet them.
