Excellent post, and I totally agree. I also agree with Daniel that there needs to be more ways to link people together. I wish they would use the group function of the ning so people could create some sort of encouragement groups or coalitions. It would be great for us to help one another in a more direct way.

Thanks, Alex, I know those feelings well! I have a great group of friends I met at a week-long seminar we attended a few years ago. After the seminar we began to have conference calls every few weeks to keep in touch. At the start there were about 12 people on the call. We tried to take turns, but even at its best that left only 10 or 15 minutes for each person to talk-- and some people would have a particular problem- or just be attention hogs. It was easy to get the feeling that no one was…
Thanks, Alex, I know those feelings well! I have a great group of friends I met at a week-long seminar we attended a few years ago. After the seminar we began to have conference calls every few weeks to keep in touch. At the start there were about 12 people on the call. We tried to take turns, but even at its best that left only 10 or 15 minutes for each person to talk-- and some people would have a particular problem- or just be attention hogs. It was easy to get the feeling that no one was really listening. Whenever I got that, "Nobody's noticing me- no one really cares," feeling I tried to turn it inside out- thinking about who else on the call hadn't really had much of a turn to talk and might also be feeling left out. Then I would focus my attention on them and intervene, asking them what was going on with them and making sure they got a chance to join in. It was always an effort at first, but pretty soon I was genuinely caught up in someone else's story and had forgotten all about keeping track of the attention I received.<br />
<br />
It's like Eleanor Roosevelt said about shyness and stage-fright- the way to get rid of them is to turn your attention to other people. We now have a core group of about 6 on the regular conference calls which we still hold. They are a wonderful group and I can't imagine my life without them. Interestingly enough some of the people who required the most attention from the group were the very ones who were most dissatisfied and dropped out. As Benjamin Franklin said, "A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle."

Daniel, I totally agree and have been doing some of that myself in comments and messages - and I don't regard this as spam the way it's currently being used - links are vital. Another useful thing which I use is to click the 'Follow' button at the end of an individual's blog summary page (not the one at the end of a specific blog post) - that way I keep up with posts from people who have interested or inspired me without needing to search (and they don't need to mail me for me to notice!)

Lots more needs to be done to link people together, and one way is by linking related content. I found this post by a link from another one that I was reading. I have done the same, posting comments in related blogs referencing my own. It might be another form of spam, if the linking is inappropriate, so wary not to abuse it.<br />

I empathize also with the sentiment of getting burned out after putting so much effort into your work. If you feel some of that yourself, think how all the rest of the thousands of people felt. I can only recommend, do what you love to do without any additional motivation required, and your rewards will come. Just having thought through some angle on the difficult problems we are addressing will open you to more possibilities, and most importantly, lead to connections with the related thoughts of others.

Alex, this was great and very empathetic and encouraging. :) Thank you. I believe that you are a gift...you...in your uniqueness, and that you have the skill of encouragement. Without that skill being represented by someone faithful to use it....many ventures, of all types, would fail. So thank you again...for being faithful to use the skills that are natural to you, and imparting strength and steadfastness.
