As regards Kyoto protocol implementation, there has been focus on waiting, anxiety over outcomes, feeling that the efforts are in vain, feeling discouraged , trying to find stability.
Learnt to keep looking to the future with faith and hope for a bright future, even if you are tired and feel like quitting, but know you can`t, inspite of communication breakdowns or feeling unappreciated or misunderstood by those you love and care for. Looking to others to validate your worth, and you aren`t receiving the consideration you feel you deserve. Looking forward to something new to come along like group activity. Allowing someone whose experience is greater to be a guide.

Interesting thought SKT.  I found in my experience that with the proper perspective, being in the presences of those closest to you who don`t believe in you is motivation.  The reason why it can be motivating (only with this a certain mindset) is because that is a tell tail sign that you are on the right path to tremendous success.  "Study the masses and do the opposite."  When you do what is contrary to the masses the first people to point it out are your loved ones.  It is motivating to me knowing i have the vision to see what others don`t thus as I persist I will have what most don`t have.

P.S. Nice to meet you!

I`ve got to go with the idea of doing what you do because it`s your passion, not because others agree, like it, disagree, hate it, or advise you to stop. If what you do is doing harm, you`re wrong so stop. If what you`re doing involves the necessary agreement of others (like their buying a product you sell), and nobody likes it, then stop.

But to work towards a goal that you believe in, I don`t think should have at its most fundamental level the need for others and their opinions. It`s nice to get help and advice, and it`s good to learn new things and different points of view, but that`s not the bottom-level driver, in my opinion.
