My Scheme Team Dream: Partners Wanted for Shaping and Changing The World
I also knew that the frustration tied into my having great energy, ideas and tools with which to generate such new projects, yet being unsure quite what to channel those resources into and where to find the support I need to do so optimally. Another clue is that the onset of the frustration coincided with the drifting apart that has happened in the last year between myself and Mark, the person with whom I developed my company, Emergent Associates, and to whom I’ve turned most for mutual support and creative partnership in the last several years. A Recent Undefined Frustration
For quite a while now, I’ve been feeling extremely frustrated. I knew there was something more specific behind my dissatisfaction, even though I couldn’t yet put a finger on what it was. For instance, while I do lack enough community in my life, I have also found myself uninspired by some of the people I have met who might have offered some. (more…) All of these factors shed some light on the source of my feelings. I realized that the dissatisfaction is related to a constellation of factors:
One of the most obvious factors has been a lack of community. Another factor was that the frustration was clearly tied into a lack of involvement in creating and developing any new exciting projects with great potential. While I want to be involved in exciting projects that channel my energies, I find myself unmotivated by some of the projects easily available for me to work on alone, even if they might give me a constructive outlet. While I talk constantly about the paramount importance of tribalism and supportive social networks in fostering health, I have had a very difficult time developing those networks in my current life. But none of them alone was enough to explain it.
