Learning from your Mentor

Are you experiencing the successes in life that you would like? Or are you stuck in a rut? The biggest and easiest thing that I have found is to find a mentor. A mentor is someone who you would like to be like, someone that you share common interests with. Once you determine who this could be, interview them to find out if their life is really something you would want to emulate. If it is, then proceed to work with them often.

Here is the definition from Wikipedia: Mentorship refers to a personal developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps a less experienced or less knowledgeable person.

I have had many mentors in my life, some from way back in school days, and others like my parents and relatives that I looked up too. I believe you should have several people and take their experiences to combine a unique YOU.

As your relationship grows with your mentor, they should be growing and learning from you as well. Human interaction will bring this about in all relationships.

It's your life and you get out of it what you put into it. If you are not where you think you should be, find a mentor. Start right now.
