Love and the 5 Year Plan, However Love Is Not Logical

You have worked hard all your life—got into a good university, paid your dues and worked your way up the corporate ladder or in a field in which you are passionate about.  You have supportive family and friends and an active social and dating life.  You are finally at a place where you are building a solid foundation for the life you desire—the husband, wife, home, and kids.

While you are out there in the dating world, you may not be ready for the “happily ever after” yet so you create a 5 year plan to make to pay off your student loans, safe for a down payment on your dream home, and achieve a bit more professional success—then you will be ready for love—the only problem is that love in not logical.

When you meet the person—the one who makes your head spin, your knees weak, and your heart race every time they walk in the room, your sturdy 5 year plan may need to be reworked.  This is a common struggle, especially when our head hasn’t come to terms with the place are heart is in; even more so if the one who has swept you off your feet, is not the one you expected you would end up with.

There is a difference between lust and love, but sometimes you find both in the same person.  While this kind of powerful connection can take you by surprise, its undeniable electricity can’t be ignored.

Whether you like it or not, or it is in your 5 year plan or not, love is not logical and can take you by surprise at a moment’s notice.  When love sneaks up in the most unexpected of places you have to determine whether it is a risk worth taking.  Is it worth letting the electricity you feel for someone pass you by because the “time” is not right?  Or because they aren’t who you “see” yourself with?  Is it better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all?  Will you have regrets if you don’t even try?

These are all difficult questions to answer—all of which are explored in the latest novel by author Ju Ephraime “A Wonderful Pieceof Dark Mahogany”.  In this book tells the tale of Melissa and Craig, two successful individuals who had a plan for the next few years of their lives—that is until their paths crossed taking them down an unexpected path of love, passion, and jealousy.
