So I tend to suffer from OCD symptoms. I even wrote a metal song about it. I thought it was pretty decent. So when I am faced with a dream, a thought, a possibility, an inkling, I tend to fall into some OCD tendencies. It is something that I really have to try and keep at bay in my life or it can throw me all out of whack and out of focus. So I DO have dreams and things that I want to see come to fruition in my life, but I do know that TIMING is EVERYTHING! There is nothing worse then stepping out to do something and being unprepared. I have seen some people fall flat on their faces by not exercising wisdom and heeding wise council. But there are times when you feel like you need to step out when it doesn't make sense and that is faith. But for me, I have to know that I know that I know I am supposed to step out and can't deny it anymore otherwise I won't set myself up for a fall. Confirmations are a great thing! It is wisdom and faith coupled together that makes for an awesome experience. I am a firm believer in common sense but also firm believer in listening to the small voice inside that directs you.
As MLK Jr. said "I have a dream!". I feel like mine is close enough I can taste it but it isn't even close enough to totally see it yet. i know that doesn't really make sense. The best analogy I have is that it is like thunder. You can hear it long before the storm is upon you but you can't always tell how long you have till you are getting pelted by rain. Could be seconds, could be many minutes. I hear the distant thunder of my dream. How long till I am in the midst of the action? I am not sure. But I want to exercise wisdom and timing. I want see the lightening so when I am in action, it will be ELECTRIC!! Bring it!!

Acting on that dream will mean taking the risk of falling. Its the falling down that helps us grow in cappacity for more as we become wise through the experience.
