TENACITY

I came across a deep thought from John Collison, Co-founder of Stripe:

“As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity everything requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.” (Hat tip to Shane Parrish)

It reminded me of a curious truth I heard on a YouTube video that went something like this: Everything you see around you started in somebody's imagination - some, like trees and mountains and oceans, began in God's imagination while others, like movies and books and buildings, began in a human's.

I have some things in my imagination that I hope to get out before my life wraps up. 

Sometimes I tell myself they are impossible.

But other times I wonder if I just might be one of those people who manages to make real what's currently only imaginary.  

I think the Believer has more reason for greater hope than most when it comes to seeing dreams realized.
