It is very easy to get sidetracked and to lose our perspective. That is why so many of us spend so much of our time sick at heart and wondering what we are doing here. It is important to remember that our work isn't a science nearly so much at it is an art. It is tough work tending to the human spirit. But that, more than anything else, is what our work is about.
Lost causes are the ones that deal with the human journey towards the highest possibilities.
It is easy to do hard things. It is much harder to do the right things, and yet, that is what our work is about. It is doing the right things for those who are not yet ready to do these things for themselves. Why, we are building cathedrals of the human spirit. Not a bad life at all, when we remember what it's really about.
