On Waiting for 4 Days

There is a Native American saying that if you are asked to make a decision on something, you should take 4 days over it. I find this difficult. I am 60 now, and I am still hot-headed like a teenager. I want to decide NOW, even if it makes no difference to leave it for a while, and I find it painful to have to wait. 

But, of course, waiting leaves time to think things over and dream on it and let the unconscious do its work. Because, as I find when I pray for things, the outcome is often not what I expect: Spirit has the fuller picture. My mind does not know as much as it thinks it does.
