Just stumbled upon the quote: “Tenacity dies when hope dies.”

It rings so true for me.

Explains why I don’t have the will I once did to bring my ambitions to fruition.

If you've got tenacity, it means you've got hope. And if you've still got that, cherish it.

I used to produce no-budget movies while working a 45 hour a week manual labor job. I'd come home, have dinner with my wife, then work on the movies in some capacity until 4 am. Sleep a few hours. Then go to work at my paying job. Rinse. Repeat.

Now I get tired doing the dishes

Not sure what my motivation is for sharing this.

I guess I often see people devaluing their work.

And I think it's important that people recognize the value of their hope and belief in themselves and what they're putting their time and effort into. It's priceless.
