NONPROFIT PAIN

Leading, volunteering, donating to a non-profit requires passion.

Passion is misrepresented as pleasure.

Passion is actually about pain. But it’s a pain that drives you to find joy on the other side. The path is treacherous because hope often stings and disappoints. Expectations are often shattered.

And the hardest thing of all…

Is that no one can share the pain with you. You’re all alone in this. No one feels it like you feel it.

When someone shows even the slightest real interest in your pain, a breath of empathy, it’s like a miracle drug coursing through your veins. And you are encouraged to keep going. Literally, your heart gains courage to beat and bleed again.

The purpose of this blog post is to be that miracle drug for you today– to let you know we see your pain. The cause is worth it. Don’t give up. The world needs you. Maybe all you can do today is just show up. That’s enough for today. You are loved.
