If there is one thing I believe everyone should strive for is to be a better person. (as well as world peace, an end to hunger and a ton of other things- but they are all far more long-term goals!) Becoming a better person is something that you can just tell yourself you want to do overnight, and do it- it only takes you.

There are lots of ways you can be a better you, and none of them mean changing who you are you. Perhaps something as simple as standing up for something or someone you believe in, or supporting a charity that you love the cause of- it all adds up.

My challenges for myself, to be a better person:

1. Get fit and run a marathon for charity. Although I'm not the most sporty person in the world, one day I hope to do this, somehow!

2. Help someone out. Do something truly altruistic, if such a thing does exist!

3. Don't lie to anyone, don't gossip about anyone, don't spread rumours about anyone, don't bully anyone, don't take sides unless necessary and avoid being rude to people.

4. Do what you can to make others happy.

5. Don't judge a person before you know them, ever!

6. Try to make others happy, particularly those who deserve it!
