The problem - recipe for burnout Like the fine artist, socially committed people are often forced to seek personal income elsewhere, which diverts their energy from their primary focus and passion. Occasionally, family or financial pressures force projects to be passed on to less committed people, or worse, closed because life and financial needs clash with the original service commitment. For example, among the first targeted social activists that gave birth to PeaceDiviners™, both the adult principals still work full time at other jobs, and spend at least 40 hours a week and their vacation time on their foundation work. Another family has to pull their kids out of school regularly when funds dry up, private schooling being their only viable option to home schooling in their adopted Third World home. This removes the mother from her focus on foundation work, which she still tries to do at equal pace; others venture into business from time-to-time to help make ends meet, deflecting their energies yet again from their chief motivation. Many of these are currently wrestling with questions. While clearly a recipe for burnout, what are the alternatives for these social change-makers? PeaceDiviners™ seeks to broaden their options by granting them enough funds to remove distracting financial worries and diversions of energy. |
