We are often asked to stretch our dreams and expand our vision. It all sounds good until the theoretical has to become practical. Now the dream has to have some real-world practical application. How those fancy slogans and pithy saying get worked out in real life is the problem.
Sometimes the breakdown in implementation is because we never really believed that we could achieve the desired outcome. Maybe we didn't count the cost as the Bible mentions and gave up because the risk/reward were out of sync. Do we really buy into what we ourselves planned?
When making vision statements and planning goals, we should always ask ourselves first, are these really in line with where we are headed. Is there a roadmap for the destination? How and when do we get there? How much does it require in resources? Are we willing to go there, or are we being forced to by circumstances?
When we set out, it is always advisable to rely on the sage advice of others who have made the journey before we did. The details change, but principles and lessons learned are applicable to the road ahead.
Be cautiously optimistic and always be rooted in faith. Never trust yourself only at the same time don't depend completely on anyone else either.
Proverbs 16: 9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. Proverbs 27:23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks and attend to your herds. Proverbs 24:27 Prepare your work outside and make it ready for yourself in the field; afterward, then, build your house.
