“You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge.” — Eckhart Tolle (via sunnythunderstorms)
I think both ways work, if you keep doing good things eventually you won’t have to try, they’ll be second nature to you.
In Buddhism it’s said that if you act like a Buddha long enough, you’ll become one.
