The Duomo in Milan, Italy took 600 years to build. That means generation after generation believing in the project, sharing the vision, making a contribution, and passing it along.
When we work on a long-term project, we have to do the same thing. Maybe not for 600 years, but even 600 hours or 600 days can feel challenging.
We have to envision what’s not there. We have to share the idea before there is even proof that it will work. We have to get others on board to make their unique contribution. We have to believe.
That’s what’s involved in changing the world. That’s what it sometimes takes to leave a lasting legacy. That’s how you build something of unmatched beauty and meaning.
