Was the statue of David but a mere block of marble before Michelangelo chiseled out a masterpiece to be beloved for all of time? Was the the Mona Lisa not simply a blank canvas before Da Vinci laid the first stroke of his brush? True, these were extraordinary men creating masterpieces during times of uncertainty and evolution. How could anyone today undertake such a task of creativity and vision that would, like these men, cement their names in time as the mastermind behind the masterpiece? While you walk through this opportunity trying to envision two bedrooms, three bedrooms maybe four! Open concept, vaulted ceilings, and bathrooms galore. Understand, that the Roman's didn't build a city and say there's no plumbing, it's not worth the price, they created aqueducts and sewers the way they wanted increasing the value of the land the chose to build. When they entered a building that was too hot or cold they didn't shy away because it was too expensive to add HVAC, they were excited to be able to install a system that functioned perfectly for the size of the property. It's without question this an extensive project and it's not meant for just anyone. This future work of art requires a strong minded, creative person who can handle the stress and magnitude of it. Not a dreamer who only knows how to dream but isn't afraid to be a do'er as well. For every aspiration there is an enemy, do you not think the told Michelangelo "maybe he should be wearing shorts?" Or Di Vinci that "he should have gone blonde over brunette?" They didn't let the fear of their critiques keep them from what they believed, and neither should you.
