I’m in the same boat. None of the people who helped me expect or need anything I can offer them, but I’m surrounded by people who need a break, need a leg up, need guidance and training. I take mentees, I continually improve my training materials, I employ and refer my mentees. I accept other people’s referrals. (Put the word out and you’ll get referrals)

I try to comport myself in an honorable manner. I try not to be a dick as much as possible. I try to share the lessons I have learned with people who haven’t yet made my mistakes. (Including children of friends)

I try to be a good example for everyone else to follow.

And at a certain point you have to come to terms with the fact that you’ll never even the scales but you take comfort from the fact that you tried.
