Mentors
We don't choose our mentors: they choose us. Your mentor will identify you as somebody who is going to walk the same path he or she has walked. It's not something that you do. It's something that happens when you begin to walk the path, provided your intention is clear. But mentors aren't just about sharing resources. They're about shaping character... There are no shortcuts to success. But mentors help you refine the process. They can encourage your awareness, support your belief, challenge your conduct... And allow you to move on.... Mentors walk into a room and into your life and give an added dimension to your journey. They reinforce your belief in the direction you are going. They support and challenge you to meaningful action. And they offer a friendship that becomes a special bond. Is there a mentor or potential mentor on your path? If so, grasp the offered hand and every opportunity it holds for learning and growth and comradeship. If not, don't worry. Stay awake. When the student is ready, the teacher will come.
