Do the work because it needs to be done, because it is your calling & perhaps even your passion. Do the work knowing that reward or recognition may not come in your lifetime, if at all. Do the work even though it will make some uncomfortable. Some of us see you & love you for it

@michele_norris Oof thank you. Needed to hear that.
@michele_norris So needed this wisdom today!
@michele_norris This resonates with me so deeply, and is actually why I have been able to work throughout my career largely without reward or recognition. When I have lamented the latter, my late mother’s words come to soothe me: “The work is its own reason for being.”
