There is no reward.

Perhaps it isn't about a reward. Perhaps it is just about the sheer tenacity of showing up. Perhaps it is about drumming the same effort, day after day, in dogged pursuit. Perhaps it is about just showing up for your part of the work everyday and getting back up and doing it again the next day. Perhaps it is all about the daily push and trudging. Maybe in trudging there is courage to never give up, strength to keep showing up even when things seem to be falling apart.
