Don’t ever expect to get immediate rewards for what you’re doing.
There’s most often no connection between your actions and results.
Most of your life the things that give you meaning little connection between actions outcomes, or you can’t see them.
It’s your job then to continue to get up and do things that offer little reward, but, you do it because you think it matters.
At some point in this future, things may turn around.
Your job is to keep doing it, despite things working out in the immediate term.
Go on hope.
