Thx Julian for your response.  Time is quite often the mortal enemy of the efforts it takes to praise and build up others.  It is magnified when we don't receive enough praise ourselves; we wonder "I'm not getting praised, it's apparent I don't need to take the time to do this for others - it's obviously not valued."
Thx for your willingness to begin the journey of shifting your point of view on this, as it is fundamental to sustaining motiavtion over the long haul.
