Being Nice to a Fault

I don't think that I have all the answers. I have made mistakes and there have been things that I wish I could change about my life...The truth is that sometimes there are people in my life that remind me of what I DO NOT want to be like.

Last night I had an awesome evening with my cousin and his partner. We just sat back and chatted after I put the boys to bed. In our conversation I said "My life is too good to not help people."

It is true. I have had a need to help people since I can remember. I believe in the goodness of human kind. I believe that kindness can go so much further than hatred, lies, and blatant disrespect. I am not perfect but my goal is to leave a difference in the world in which I live in. One that people are thankful and grateful for.

I also know that living this way and thinking this way gets me hurt and burned by many people who see it as a weakness. It is not a weakness. The weakness is the person who believes that being a terrible human and being unkind gives them some certain power.

I don't know if I believe in Karma. I don't know if being kind to all is going to benefit me in some way. I don't know if those hateful people will have a negative effect on them. What I do know is that my life is beautiful.

I continue to learn from experiences. I continue to grow, and probably get hurt. I will continue to understand the kind of person I will not become. I will continue to help people. THAT is the truth.
