My friend. There is no guarantee if you fall in love with a girl you meet at church, who has perfect attendance, comes from a good family, has perfect teeth and writes poetry about puppies, will not burn you to the ground. I bet I just got a few amens.
I just finished writing my five year plan for the next five years. I have never done that. But it is the final five years until I clean out my desk, sell the house and retire. 60 months. Amazingly I am not thinking about what I am going to do when I retire but what I never had time or courage to do before now. I'm sad I missed so much life because now I realize I wasn't living in a house of cards. I could have taken more chances, had more fun, played with my kids more, loved without holding back. And it all would have probably been ok. But I literally hedged my bets in every aspect of my life. Now instead of looking forward to some freedom I feel like I'm looking back on a lifetime of regrets and I am sadly out of time.
There is no such thing as security, safety, or as they say in the stock market ,"Past performance does not guarantee future results"
Does this girl have a good heart? Is she kind? Is she honest? How does she treat people?
Protect yourself financially and professionally, as you should if you were falling for the preachers daughter. But let your heart go where it wants. Trust me, broken hearts heal.
