I love talking to a sensible person, but I must say the best is a man or woman of faith who has sense as well. There are people of good sense but lack courage to step out. These people eventually become sad and disillusioned.
Often visionary people are considered senseless dreamers, but I know if a dreamer tests their dream and does the research then decides, against the tide of opinion to proceed, they will undoubtedly succeed. Whereas sensible, bean counters, will discourage them because they see the problems.
Understanding vision and process is valuable. Vision without process is dreaming without the next step. Earlier this year I saw a garden in my yard that was, at that time void of anything but grass. I saw it, spoke it out and planned on the spend. I did the research and bought a wheelbarrow, my first, dirt and plants. All winter I had cultivated compost of the highest odour, my dogs approved.
The vision was first, patient planning, cultivation and yesterday a lot of hard work. My arms are longer tonight but after a hot shower and a good stretch I am well and pleased with the result.
This process is one I employ again and again. I am currently in data gathering mode for a new business. I know the process works. Whilst I listen to the bean counters I know they do not have the vision and therefore are restricted in the contribution they make. The excitement of the fulfilled vision is managed firmly, excitement will not pay the bills, but wise planning and determined execution will.
