Challenge yourself!

Challenge yourself!

October 28 – 2020

Often times we decide we should search for a Mentor when we find ourselves facing a challenge or obstacle. Something that is in our way right now and needs resolution. The reality is that we need to be proactive in finding mentors. Proactive in putting ourselves in a position of strength rather than panicking in the moment. Besides, we don’t want to just meet with the first person that has a pulse and seems somewhat wiser and more experienced than we are. We want to be selective and find a mentor that can challenge us and help us become the person we dream of being.

I Picked up some great points in regards to the importance and impact of Mentorship while reading Craig Groeschel’s book, ‘Six Steps to Your Best Leadership’ today. While you may have varying perspective on the faith aspect the book brings, the leadership and mentoring tips provided are transferable to everyone.

Here are a few excerpts:
-You may be one relationship away from changing the course of your life…. So, when it comes to spending time with people, don’t just respond to people that ask. Initiate time with people that stretch you, push you and even confuse you!
-Meet with someone you criticize…we often judge what we don’t understand.
-Meet with people that are different. Different in age, expertise, career. Someone a few steps ahead that can offer hindsight.
-Don’t just copy what others do, but learn how they think!

Pretty inspiring and challenging stuff.

Don’t wait until you think you need a mentor to find a mentor. Be proactive and find a mentor now. Choose the right one that will stretch you and help you live your most fulfilled life!
