When I’ve had a vision for the future, I immediately wondered if it will come to pass. I would get motivated and fueled up see it happen. What I realized over the years is that the fuel of ambition is not the problem; it is the focus of ambition that frees or betrays me. God gives us design freedom, so ambition is a gift, when seen within His beautiful will for our lives.
Thomas Aquinas said: “We are not puppets at the end of some divinely pulled string. We are stringed instruments and collaborators in the orchestra of creation.”
Here’s my dream-to-reality-breakdown- Take the dream and break it down into small increments, one phase followed by another. Be fueled to accomplish one at a time, and your dream will come alive in due time! Trust in the timing of God AND put in the work.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 says…
2 Then the LORD replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. 3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
