Episode Synopsis

Send us a textHave you ever felt like you're constantly putting others first while watching them succeed ahead of you? This powerful conversation explores the counter-cultural wisdom that "nice guys and gals finish last, but they finish with the biggest blessings."Some people are specifically called to be the supporters in their circles—those with enough endurance to watch others accelerate while remaining patient in their own journey. It can feel isolating and lonely to consistently be the helper, the one who ensures no one gets left behind. Yet this position isn't random—it's connected to your unique attributes and purpose.Using the beautiful analogy of Forrest Gump repeatedly running into danger to rescue soldiers before finding his friend Bubba, we explore how being last requires exceptional character. Like Forrest, those called to this role show up with kindness and compassion, never chosen to be first for anything, yet consistently finding themselves in the right place at the right time. They possess a special combination of will, faith, and grace that allows them to help others break through barriers.This conversation offers validation and encouragement for anyone feeling the weight of being last. While warning against self-depletion and premature pursuit of external achievements, the message remains clear: if you stay the course and focus on blessing those around you rather than chasing fame or fortune, extraordinary blessings await. Your position isn't a punishment but a preparation for something remarkable—if you have the courage not to give up or pivot away from those who need you right now.Ready to embrace your role as the supporter? Listen now and discover the power and purpose of finishing last.Connect with LAURA: https://www.lauraeking.com/ Subscribe to Laura's Peak of the Week: https://www.lauraeking.com/peak-of-the-week Checkout Mondo Davison as a Believer Speaker on his website: https://www.aramondo.com/
