Where’s the joy?
Where do you find joy in the work that you do?
It's probably not in struggling with technology, though if you're a puzzle solver like me, there is a lot of satisfaction in making a tool do what you want it to do.
But there's a deeper reason why people work in community-driven organizations.
Why they seek out those positions.
Why they stick around through all the headaches and challenges.
As you slug it out in the trenches today, remember this:
You are helping people who matter make valuable accomplishments in their lives.
Your members, your staff, your volunteers. The work you do matters to them.
Press on, and count the wins as they come, large or small.
All the best,
A.
