What drives us? Life is a complex array of long term wants/goals and daily to-do's. It seems that in order to continue striving we probably need to find a way to detach and forget about the ongoing, long term battles we fight for our hopes and dreams (that frankly seem pie in the sky at times). I wonder how we do it? To keep hacking way with no sign of progress can be crazy making. I guess this is when we know something deep inside of us just has to succeed or manifest whatever it is that we really, really want and need in our lives. I think there's comfort in knowing we're in it together. These two quotes say it well.
"Endurance: It is the spirit which can bear things, not simply with resignation, but with blazing hope. It is the quality which keeps a man on his feet with his face to the wind. It is the virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because beyond the pain it sees the goal."

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
Let's keep trying :)
