A perfect fit

Last night I had an excited call from a friend who is diving headlong into a business opportunity that she claims is 'a perfect fit'.

What she can offer in time and skills is exactly what her prospective partner needs and there is a quid pro quo in terms of opportunity and lifestyle. The plan involves her relocating to the country, which is great because she's looking for a 'sea change' and she's already found someone to rent her house. She wants to believe that nothing could be simpler.

And that's the problem: there are few 'perfect fits' in life.

No adult should believe that such synchronicity is a naturally occurring phenomenon any more than we should believe that the machine will work right out of the box.
