Some people turn to religion or a close friend, spouse, or co-worker.
Share ideas and frustrations with someone. He or she might be able to give you a new perspective on the idea, a better solution, or at least be a good listener. Don't forget to share your joys as well as your frustrations. Attend Workshops Sharing with co-workers in your district, state, or throughout the nation can be inspiring. Attending a national conference for your program area and seeing over a thousand professionals all interested in serving others re-emphasizes this shared value.
