You need mentors in your life and you need to be a mentor!
Napoleon Hill references the need to have a "mastermind alliance" to help guide you in life/business with decision making and to hold you accountable. In your personal life you need role models or mentors as examples of who you can become. They will be people that will push you in the direction you want to go and help you gain momentum!
A few years ago I remember Marc Miro (ex-WWF wrestler) saying to our parish one Sunday "your friends are like an elevator, they can bring you down or they can bring you up." Make sure that you surround yourself with inspiring mentors/heroes that you would like to become like.
With that in mind, be cautious who you surround yourself with and who you look to for guidance. Adolf Hitler was a great motivator of his people ... but so was Mahatma Gandhi! Which one would you rather get inspiration and advice from?
You may be at a point in your life where you can be a big sister or big brother to someone. Or you can mentor the interns at work. Or you can mentor an older person (yes mentors can be younger than you) on how to make the most out of that smart phone in their hands. By mentoring others you will become more of the person that you want to become. Helping someone else doesn't just make you feel better ... it actually makes you better!
Get a mentor - Be a mentor! Have a great day!
