There is no perfect fit, even when you think you find one.

Outside of the first few weeks of marriage, I have never found a couple (ourselves included!) immersed in endless bliss. Marriage is hard work and can sometimes seem like a complete mystery. And, so it is also with things like college football recruiting, work and life.

It takes a few dates before you see the warts on someone.

It takes a few weeks before you realize maybe you weren’t the guy coach really wanted to recruit.

It takes a few weeks to realize that dream job might not be so great because your boss is asking you cook the books.

You are going to experience problems, even in seemingly perfect situations in life. There is no such thing as a never ending feeling of bliss once you make you college decision, marriage or career choice. There are definitely moments of it! But, sooner or later you’re going to experience a hiccup.

And, when that happens you will need to figure it out. And, that’s a good thing.

Everything is figureoutable.
