Being a good person is a hard thing to define. Many will see front-line workers, superheroes, and saints as the only "good" people on earth. But these images of good and selflessness are often only what we see in the public view. Being a good person requires a 24/7 devotion to virtuous ethics and acts. In order to be the same good person in public and in private requires devotion and practice to see it become second nature. For me, I believe we best find this in Jesus. Don't beat yourself up because you messed up. Count it as a lesson to learn from and grow. Give yourself the grace to learn and train yourself to continue to do good. 

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 ESV

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
