Our ideals are our better selves

Our ideals are our better selves

Our ideals are the guiding principles that shape our thoughts, actions, and beliefs. They are the standards by which we measure our behavior and the values that we strive to uphold. In essence, our ideals are a reflection of our better selves – the version of ourselves that we aspire to be.

When we think about our ideals, we are essentially envisioning the best possible version of ourselves. We imagine a person who is kind, compassionate, honest, and just. We see someone who is driven by a sense of purpose and a commitment to making the world a better place. Our ideals serve as a roadmap for our personal growth and development, guiding us towards becoming the person we truly want to be.

Our ideals also serve as a moral compass, helping us navigate the complexities of life and make decisions that align with our values. When faced with difficult choices or challenging situations, our ideals provide us with a framework for ethical decision-making. They remind us of the importance of integrity, empathy, and respect for others, and encourage us to act in ways that are consistent with these principles.
