Doesn’t mean it’s time to quit. Not necessarily.
If you’re doing good work yet feel unappreciated, if you’re impacting individual lives but the crowds don’t notice, if you come alive doing what you’re doing but no one seems to care, you have two options:
Quit.
Keep going.
You can find something else to do, or you can keep on doing what you’re doing. It all depends on the payoff you’re looking for.
Take heart. You’re not alone. It doesn’t take a great prophet to see that sometimes people just won’t catch on. Some of the greatest people persevered anyway. They never got the recognition that they deserved in this life, but their legacy has proved their worth.
