Rome was built in a day.
It wasn’t finished in a day. In fact, it’s still not finished.
But the day someone said, “this is Rome,” and announced the project, it was there.
Sometimes we get hung up on the beginning, unwilling to start Rome unless we’re sure we can finish it without incident.
Sometimes we get hung up on the finishing, starting things all the time but blinking in the face of Resistance and wandering away.
The long haul is simply your list of completed projects. A career is not a series of tasks. It’s the chance to build things.
