When your spouse asks you that question do you freeze up? Will you fess up to the growing girth around your sweetheart’s hips? One of the first lessons a husband learns is that being truthful isn’t always rewarded! Being right is no help either. Your wife isn’t seeking your opinion but confirmation of her opinion!
“No! What fool have you been listening to? You know I don’t know hardly any thing about female clothing styles and culture.” After looking from hair to shoes at your spouse say, “Fat is not what I see! I trust your judgment and taste. If I had my way you wouldn’t have on any clothes.”
Is the ploy working on your wife, probably not? The question to the wife is similar to asking a non-GED graduate if she or he should get a GED. Both want to be told what they want to hear. It’s not their fault. What person without a high school diploma wouldn’t want a GED? Someone who doesn’t want to have to work to get one! Someone the world owes a living to.
If you can’t tell yourself the truth; then you have embarked on a journey down the slippery slope of deceit or failure. A journey requiring no effort on your part. Just to accept excuses, avoid reality, shirk responsibilities, and to hide away from prying eyes. So do you believe that not having a high school diploma or GED is the way to go? Are you afraid to try, to learn? What does that still voice in the back of your head say?
You’ve got to change! Or you’ll keep on getting what’s happening now. Change can be frightening but change is the order of the day on this planet. Nothing ever stays the same forever. Take some GED classes and try to stay with it. Your life isn’t written in stone unless you can’t change! Others in worse or better shape than you have done it. Education is supposed to improve your life or how you think about yourself.
You can get a GED through studying online, in a classroom, at home with a self study book, or private tutoring. How you study and if you study are up to you. There’s no way you can’t get help, free or fee, to reach your GED goal.

Once upon a time there was the dark ages where few commoners could read or write. Later an industrial age came about with public education offered. Now the current age is about information.
How to obtain it? What to do with it? How to own and manipulate it? The GED gives you the basics to exist in that age and grow with it.
If you don’t have an idea of where you are trying to get to. Anywhere will do nicely. Others will be happy to choose your goal for you but not to your benefit. You are going to go through this life once. Why not reach for the gold ring or do what you dream of? The last time I checked there was no tag attached to me saying failure. I assume the same applies to you?
Change is risky. It’s new and can be fun. Change is the rhythm of life. People come and they go, live and die. Your choice is not so dire! You just want a better more abundant life. Go for it!
