http://silona.org/a-reminder-to-myself/2010/09/27/ Never get demotivated by the people that don’t care… or that don’t see a point… or think you shouldn’t waste your time… or say consistently what you are doing wrong but rarely what you are doing right…
We are working on making the world a better place. And yes we may make the world a better place for those people as well as everyone else. Those difficult people are no different from the rocks on the path that also benefit. Many of them later will rewrite history - say they were actually on that path and helped your feet rise. It doesn’t matter. They still gave you something to walk on - even if they were sometimes sharp they made your feet tougher - so they did contribute
and that’s okay…
Because you do this for the ones you love… and sometimes they can be the difficult ones too.
