Fools Rush In
Rushing hastily into your purpose to succeed or be a success without having been prepared can make for a sloppy and thrown together outcome. The result will end up being one that has no foundational stability, and in order to be a success and help others to do the same, it can't be done in a rush.
When you bake bread from scratch, you have to prepare all the ingredients properly, and then at some point you have to wait for the dough to rise. If you don't wait and you rush it or even bump the pan the wrong way, you cause the process the dough was going through to slow down or to be stopped all together, causing the dough to fall.
So it is with our lives. We have to make sure we prepare all the right and proper ingredients into our "bowl" and allow for the time it takes for us to "rise" to the occasion. We cannot be in a rush to succeed. It does not happen overnight except when much preparation has already been put in place.
