Motivation & Patience --- I really like this question as I am currently wondering the same thing being in advocacy only very recently. I assume that it would take some planning of short-term, mid-term and long-term objectives, so as to be able to measure on success and indeed be able to reflect on small wins while building on possibly larger objectives. I think it is a matter of patience as well as maintaining motivation by what any success would mean for the people we chose to support.
