Please hurry and Grow Up... You are an Awesome man in the making ( your wife knows it and now you should too). You are kindhearted, understanding, intelligent (for the most part), you see into the heart, and you are passionate ( this can be good and bad but more on that later). You love your family and would fight to the death for anyone of them. All these things you should know about yourself...
Now for the things you need to know...
No one is always right but your instincts are...the first reading you get from a situation or person is usually correct (don't doubt yourself). Know what you know and you will be guided in the right direction.
Gather as much information as possible before involving yourself in every thing that happens...This takes more time than being impulsive but allows for a better plan than jumping in feet first.
Your first emotional response is always OK (however you feel about anything is your right .. no one can tell you how to feel).
Control your impulses... in all the world the only thing any of us can control is ourselves.
And think... what will be the final outcome of my actions (short and long term).
When you learn to take a more studied approach to the people around you, you will have arrived at the heart of manhood. Know your mind and don't be so readily swayed by others.
Wishing you all the best on your Journey.
