You know…
May 6, 2008
I’ve heard so much spoken about “what goes around, comes around,” (karma) and “nice guys always finish first.” In the church and in the realm of faith, prayer is key: prayer for someone who is challenging you, prayer for triumphs, prayer for trials. I think these are all great things to consider when facing hardships. I believe I’m an incredibly nice person… I think I’m even too nice. And if nice people like me are taught all these things all our lives, does it give us any sort of advantage when it comes to people who AREN’T taught this? These are the people who live their lives stomping all over people like me. So whereas I’m praying for these people and believing that one day they’ll come face to face with a self-realization, these people are living their lives totally squashing people like me — and not even caring.
Do nice people really finish first?

Hey Ryan I’m sorry but I don’t believe nice guys always finish first. Hope you do but there’s a lot of squashers around. Just got to try and avoid them.

y’know… you’re right. Thanks for the insight. It’s just too bad that the nice people have to always have squasher radar. Maybe that’s better than living with a poor attitude! –ry

Nice guys might not finish first but at least they can live with themselves and their conscience. The race is NOT about finishing first but about HOW you run the race. People are people, good, bad and indifferent – but YOU have a choice in what type of person you are going to be not only every day, but each minute of each hour of each day. Be the person we (and you) know you can be.
Cheer, Cheer, Cheer!
