Sometimes things can’t happen no matter how badly you want it to make it happen — at least not in the timeframe you originally wanted.

I realize that with Date Ideas first iteration in Rails 3 proper (finally!!) behind me with its imminent launch, despite several setbacks and months of delays, that I accept it for what it is - something that can grow organically and where me and my team can learn from as our first stab in the consumer web startup space.

It takes a very special set of circumstances for a team to come together.  The right timing, stage in life, mindset, passion, money in the bank for decent runway, having a full moon and the perfect windspeed, whatever it is to be aligned perfectly in unison to start and build something great.

Despite your being “relentlessly resourceful” and no matter how hard you try with boundless passion/enthusiasm, sometimes things that can’t happen now doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t happen later.
