gonna explain an analogy i used a while ago to explain my plan, i just came up with it on a whim but i think it works really well.
when you see a beautiful ring, or a piece of artwork you dont really think of how it starts do you? you just think of how beautiful it is right? what about a skyscraper? or even a car? or a warship? all you think about is the end product but you never once think about how it started right? take a dimand ring for example.
the ring is extremely beautiful but think of how it started, that dimand was once burred deep in the earth waiting to unleash its true potential. eventually it gets dredged up, but it still looks horrible, perhaps half sticking out of a peice of rock, you first have to break the rock off to get a uncut dimand, then you have to cut and shape and polish it. a process wich takes weeks or months on end. you'd be foolish to think it happens overnight.
now lets think of the ring itself. its probably made of silver or gold but think of how that started, also in the ground and dug up but unlike the dimand theres no breaking off the rock bits and KNOWING you have something of worth. you have to smelt it, forge it into shape. putting the ore in a furnace until it melts down into a bar of silver, then you have to take endless hours to shape and polish the ring.
the main point with both of these examples. it takes TIME its not going to turn into something beautiful overnight. you need to put it under just the right conditions and help it along to unlock its true potential.
also, what is the dimand without the ring? its just a piece of stone that has no purpose, its beautiful but on its own its nothing. it needs a mount to hold it. and thats were the ring comes in. supporting it just right and accenting it to make it beautiful. without the other each of them are nothing. think about that for a while
and now a final statement i would like to make is that my ore, my lump of rock has only just been found. i know what im going to do with it but its going o take time. and anyone who trys to rush me can go to hell. its going to take time but when its over it will take your breath away. it may look like nothings happening but when you first put the ore in the fire you cant see any changes to it, hell even when you take it out all you end up with is a dull bar of metal and you might not think thats important but it is. once things start taking shape its easy to see what the end result will be.
