I've recently declared myself a non-profit on account of not making any money despite working 75 hours each week intended to earn me a living. I'm not sure I'm qualified for all those helpful grants yet. That is unless they're offering one in advancing cynicism. Demons out.
I think I'm learning about avodah, which is the Hebrew word for work and worship as one. Sometimes the results of the work aren't the point, but the work itself - the inherent sacrifice of self, time and energy in the pursuit of something - that is sacred.
But I've gotta tell you, sometimes it really doesn't seem worth all the effort.

Cynicism out- it's not your character unless you've undergone some sort of catharsis.
You share a goal with someone you love and are both working towards achieving it. Yes at the moment your wallet is not being filled, but what price is put on experience? Even more to the point is the value of knowing what not to do, and then of course remembering it.
Travelers through life, such as we are, can identify with ocean waves which create peaks and valleys and if they persevere will reach their goal. Just don't feel washed up!
