The First Thing to Know About Someone Before You Fall in Love
What is the most important thing to know about a person BEFORE you give yourself to him or her?
By Ray Coppola
WARNING:
As soon as you read what the most important thing to know about someone is before you fall in love, you will probably be tempted to superficially think something like, ‘of course,’ or ‘I know that!’ But don’t kid yourself. Unless you have actually said it to yourself or someone else, you don’t! And my guess is that most people have not even read about what I am saying. So be smart! It’s your future on the line, and you deserve a successful one!
Let us have some fun! Read the following question, and then close your eyes and answer it BEFORE you read my answer below. NO CHEATING, OR YOU’LL RUIN THE FUN FOR YOURSELF!
What is the most important thing to know about a person BEFORE you give yourself to him or her in a relationship?
Now close your eyes and think about your answer.
OK, here is the answer. No, it is not money! No, it is not honesty, though that is high up there! No, it is not even having kids, where to live, religious matters, sexual proclivities, or financial goals (though all of these things should be given high priority.)
It is something MUCH MORE IMPORTANT! It is this. Is he or she happy within themselves? Not because of a good job, or from having inherited money, or from winning the lottery, (Studies show that within a year of winning the lottery, people return to their former woeful anxiety-ridden state of mind), or anything else.
We have all met someone like this. We call them the ‘life of the party,’ ‘a truly happy soul,’ ‘gifted by the Spirit,’ and on and on…
So, to ensure your future happiness, look for, above all else, a truly happy person, above all other characteristics, for NO ONE can make another person happy!
Unhappy people are always searching for someone else or something else to make them happy and they NEVER, EVER succeed in finding it.
HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU!- UNCLE RAY
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
My heart kept going boom, boom, boom,
the more she said those words to me,
she kept on talking ceaselessly,
my heart kept going boom, boom, boom.
