I would like to describe my advice which I recently received. I received this advice about two weeks ago. I had visited my father and told him about a very important message to give him because it was a problem that had been disturbing me for about a year. I just needed to talk to someone and seek someone’s opinion. I had conflicts of interest. There were two people that I really admired. Two ladies I admired. For one, they were peculiarities to them. For one, I enjoyed the fact that she was spiritual. She could sing. We had some minor things in common. But the thing was I was not in love with her. I was not physically attracted to her. There was another person that I was physically attracted to. I just enjoyed myself whenever I was with her. I just felt free. She was also spiritual but not as spiritual as the other. I was stuck between what to do and what I should like to go for. Then I spoke to my father. I called him. He just told me that at the end of the day, when I become established, I would meet a lot of people that they might like me because of the money I have now. They might want to. What would keep me standing then is the fact that I really loved my wife. If I can’t seem to love the person now, it might be difficult for me to do so in the nearest future. That advice really stopped me. It helped bring clarity to a lot of things. I am grateful to him for that.

I had visited my father and told him about a very important issue I needed to discuss because it was a problem that had been disturbing me for about a year. I just needed to talk to someone and seek their opinion. I had conflicts of interest. There were two people that I really admired, two ladies. For one, there were peculiarities about her. I enjoyed the fact that she was spiritual and could sing. We had some minor things in common. But the thing was, I was not in love with her; I was not physically attracted to her. There was another person that I was physically attracted to. I just enjoyed myself whenever I was with her. I felt free. She was also spiritual, but not as spiritual as the other. I was stuck between what to do and what I should pursue. Then I spoke to my father. I called him, and he told me that at the end of the day, when I become established, I would meet a lot of people who might like me because of the money I have. What would keep me standing then is the fact that I truly loved my wife. If I can't seem to love the person now, it might be difficult for me to do so in the near future. That advice really impacted me. It helped bring clarity to a lot of things. I am grateful to him for that.
