There's a paradox surrounding Tebow and professional sports right now. I think it's the same paradox that many of us face in our daily lives.
You see, sports journalists have been complaining for some time now that we need some "good guys" in sports. They are tired of the sport getting a bad name because of a few trouble-makers. They complain that the media gives all of the attention to the bad guys and ignores the good guys.
Enter Tim Tebow. He's not perfect. None of us are. But he's humble. He works hard. He gives credit where credit is due. He's a sportsman when he wins and when he loses. He casts positivity when he speaks. He doesn't make excuses. Sounds like the perfect guy for the media to focus on. And they are. So the sports journalists are all happy. Have a nice day!
Unfortunately, Tebow is living the paradox that many of us create in our own lives. We want something. We get it. Then we decide that we want more. When the first iPhone came out, it was wonderful. Better than expected. Now, after the latest iPhone was released, no one wants the original because it's just not good enough.
I'll be blunt (because I'm again guilty). That constant desire to need more and better things (toys, relationships, etc.) is a reflection of where we are internally. Those journalists that criticize the same man that they wished for a year ago are missing something.
What I find ironic is that the very thing they are missing is the exact thing that they criticize Tim Tebow for having.
