Which ones- which past-present-future imagined adventures deserve to unfold, and do they align with what at least one client, co-creator, or fellow-fool might also dream - can they see it too?
Can we and they see it through? ….
Wanting more is easy; choosing what earns our life-spent upon it is not a light or easy choice, even though I have memories, closed files and ‘pursuit costs’ in cash/brain cells/trips/costs with faded receipts in boxes of old accounting recrords; they are not lost opportunities, they are ones I spent so much effort and money on, ones that didnt work or work as well as I dreamed. And atop that sunk cash, the missed opportunities I missed out on, didn’t see or didn’t have the flexibility to pursue - I could bleed about those even more.
But, for what?
We spend plenty of time asking what we want, but that begs another question:
is ‘what deserves to be wanted?’ … because we all drive by projects and see the stupidity of a development that had no chance of working.
And, without being cynical, we can all see careers, lifestyles and families where we see ‘there was a set up for failure, not success.’
And yet, we all see and hear success stories where those who started, and those who picked up the pieces, never made a go of something.
But, then along came ________ and they turned that rubble into beauty, turned financial disaster into a homerun winning triumph.
Some dreams need feeding, some need testing, and a few old ones probably belong in the shredder.
