These homeowners didn’t let the fact their little piece of dirt was wedged between building walls in every direction stop them. They saw past the “they ain’t going anywhere” limitation to realize a really quite spectacular spot of nature in an urban setting. I like this attitude in both design and life, make it happen regardless!
Each of us have barriers that are stubborn, if not immovable. What are you going to do when you come face to face with one? Use it as an excuse to stop moving in the direction you say you dream of going, or will you buckle down, get creative, think outside the box or dig down deep until you find a way around, over, under or through.
For all the hiccups I’ve had in my life, one trait I truly appreciate about myself is that upon hearing a no, it can’t be done, I get all revved up to figure out how to turn the “it ain’t happening” into “look how that worked out!” Perhaps it’s the challenge that gives me the wherewithal to push until the solution is found, but I believe it’s truly key for each of us to identify what our own special potion is, (or find it if you haven’t discovered yours yet!) Celebrate it, embrace it and use it liberally!
Here’s to making the not possible, possible! 🙌
