Good ideas and projects die unknown at higher rates than we think

Good ideas and projects die unknown too. Probably at higher rates than we think 

We tend to think and the internet has exacerbated this that if you do something good, great even it will find the audience and would be seen by many. I think this is an interesting phenomenon in which we over apply optimism to ideas and projects. The truth is most projects require immense amounts of prework domain knowledge, luck and/or structural systems in your favor. Great ideas and projects have died many times through history, those are the documented ones. Who knows what we have missed undocumented and not pass down. That’s why doing something, anything requires great amounts of courage. Courage to be known and courage to be unknown. Sometimes it goes in circles. So it becomes the acceptance (and acceptance is relaxed courage) of taking in the unknown after the known. That’s the ego. Always being with the waves and the circles should help but humans tend to want to create for themselves and for others.
