A really great talent finds its happiness in execution.

Ideas are pleasant to hold and produce very little satisfaction on their own. The particular pleasure being described comes from the making: hours of adjustment, the problem solved at the level of detail, the thing existing where before there was a plan. People with real ability often like this part most, which is what keeps them at it long after the initial excitement has gone.

If your ideas keep outnumbering your finished things, that imbalance is worth examining. Take one to completion, even a small one, and notice how the finishing compares with the imagining.
