Catching your Zzzzz's?

I’ve been realizing more and more that we live in a world where everyone looks out for themselves and only themselves. I guess we’ve created this society that believes if you don’t look out for yourself no one will, but it’s still sad to see what people are willing to do to move up in life. I just can't imagine sacrificing my integrity just so that I could feel more important or make an extra buck.

I heard a statement made on the radio a few months ago that kind of stuck with me. The gentleman I was listening to said “if you ever want to gauge the character of a person ask them how they sleep at night, if they say “pretty good” then you’ll know that they go to bed every night with a clear conscience." I think to an extent that really is true. I love to catch those Z’s, but I know that when I’ve done something I feel bad or guilty about I really do lay awake tossing and turning with guilt and remorse. It really is a great feeling to go to bed at night knowing that despite the kind of world we live in we can still make a choice to live our lives with integrity.

I would rather go to bed at night with a clear conscience then lay awake wondering who I had to run over to get to the top. Maybe being a lazy bum isn’t such a bad thing after all!
