Good advice

A good friend of mine just sent me this little slice of wisdom over gchat:
i'm starting to think a huge part of success is not losing spirit
I feel that right now. Deeply. About as deeply as I ever have in the history of this organization. Things in the Give Us Names house have been slow going, moving back into a house in Atlanta, trying to pay bills, trying to feel settled. It's all a little overwhelming sometimes. That being said, I feel like there is no better place for us to be right now. Granted, I say that probably only half believing it, but there is something incomparably valuable about a good old fashioned hard time that is rare to come by in our world of seemingly indefinite resource.
Hopefully we can all identify with that a little bit right now. For many of us, whether coming out of college, or looking at a less than certain retirement, our dreams and presuppositions of what our lives might look like, the ones that we had only a year ago, have shifted a great deal.
