The Rome De Facto is the adopted thought that essentially states – what wasn’t done today can be done tomorrow. AKA – Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Of course “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
This phrase can get us into trouble if we’re not careful.
Daily, we get distracted or detoured towards that big thing (Rome) we’re all after, but the Rome De Facto allows us to pat ourselves on the back – while simultaneously believing that tomorrow just may have 25, 26, 27, or 48 hours to finish, mend, or make what wasn’t today.
Sure, 24 hours didn’t build Rome, but it was built day, by day, by day, by day….
Tomorrow will attempt to convince you that it is adequately prepared to build the walls that should have and could have been built today. It’s lying to you.
Whatever your Rome is, it should be more accessible, more traveler friendly, safer, and even more sharable today than it was yesterday.
If today is done right, your just a few short tomorrows from your Rome needing a suburb.
2 Points:
- Comparing your project to the construction timeline of Rome belittles the significance of today.
- We’re given these little things called days that add up to a big thing called life, and you don’t want to look back in 5,10, or 50 years and have fallen victim to the Rome De Facto.
