Everyone isn’t your mentor. Your mentor should be someone of YOUR choice!
Your mentor is someone who’s attitude, background, values, morals, energy, giftedness, and/or leadership ability that YOU align with.
In most “successful” scenarios the mentor you choose is someone you can relate to but also see you’re FUTURE self in THEM!
If the above statement is true, this person will be your guide & source of wisdom.
However, for this mentorship to work, you have to understand humbleness, gratefulness, truthfulness, how to be coachable, submissiveness, and have a willingness to listen and apply!
EX: Let’s say you never been to the state of New Mexico before. If I got into your car and told you to take me there. How would you do it? You know where to go but have no idea how to get there! (Similar to your goals). What you then decide to do is RELY on a resource (GPS or Maps). To rely is to FULLY trust and have faith. When a GPS says turn left, you don’t second guess it or say “Hmmm I think it will be better for me to turn right.” & even when you do, the GPS still will make an effort to reroute you from where you are!
Treat your mentor like you treat your GPS ❤️
