Fools & Flight

A fool and his money are soon parted. Fools' gold. Fools in love. Only a fool tests the water with both feet.

So many quotes and sayings about a fool and foolishness. But, perhaps the one I am most concerned about is this:

Fools rush in.

So, how long is appropriate until you are not considered a fool? Or, conversely, if you wait too long, are you foolish for having waited?

Time waits for no one, so another saying goes.

My feeling? Sometimes you just have to take the leap of faith, trust the universe and each other, and do what your heart dictates. You always have it within you to know what you truly want. You just have to rely on your heart to make the right decision.

Go to the edge and fly.

Or, as media maven Al Bernstein once said -

Sometimes the fool who rushes in gets the job done.
