Nice Guys Finish Last?



He's a nice guy. It's been said many times and that's the main impression I give people. So what's so good about nice? Sometimes the critical side of me would ask that. It seems a bigger battle these days, but sometimes you know how you would rehearse something in your head, but when that circumstance comes along, you somehow go back to your roots and react differently.

My conclusion, you can't really change your inner self. You can however reflect about yourself and think about how you would like yourself to be, act and manage relationships. Reflecting on the true root cause of each and every feeling. This I feel can bring about self-realization and in fact change the way you would act as the situation is viewed in new light.

It's like friendship, how I wish there was a manual, together with a troubleshooting guide and FAQ. How do you tell if this person would stand by you? Would he/she run away when troubled times come along? Would helping this person out only be returned with thoughts about what's his angle? If an old mutual friend of an ex does not talk to you anymore, does that mean she hates you? Does that mean I did something wrong?

Just don't over think things, that is what I would tell myself. So far, my resolution is on track, I am learning new things and happy with the new skills and experiences gained.

Nothing's gonna change my world...
