You know those things in your life that aren’t just “things” or a “job” but are part of you? The stuff that you pour your heart and soul into, not because you are trying to outdo someone else, nor one-up another person, but because you just feel internally compelled to do them. Stuff that people will fail to appreciate and fail to acknowledge. There will be days when you wonder if it’s even worth it. If nobody else really seems to “get it”, then why bother. Days where you will make a mistake and people will jump to notice, because they’ve been waiting for it and because that’s all they can see. But, in the end, it’s your heart that guides you. It’s not just a job, and it doesn’t matter if everyone “gets it.” There are people who do. Maybe they are only ten years old. Maybe they are a parent who wrote you a letter that changed your life. That’s when you realize you’ve been focusing on the wrong people. That’s when you realize 110% that it’s completely worth it in every way. Even when it’s difficult.
