To become successful, I need a mentor, someone who is where I want to be that has been where I am, in the area I choose or thing I want to be successful in…For instance, right now, I am listening to a musician who is singing well…I like the way the guys sings, his voice, his add lips, even the music, the words and so on, the words of the song being sung sound like they come from the heart of his heart.
Now, I ADMIRE him, and this admiration can turn into a DESIRE to sing like Him, be like Him or write like him or be able to do what he is doing. This desire in turn turns to MOTIVATION to want to sing like Him, Motivation in turns makes me DETERMINED to do what I need to do to become like him which is LEARN from Him, PRACTICE the things and principles he applies, and do it CONSISTENTLY. This is one of the path if not the only path to success.
Sometimes even before we had the desire to become something, a doctor, a musician, or to become rich, it is usually because we have seen other doctors and admired them, rich men and women the way they live comfortably and admired them or the way they seem comfortable and able to get what they want. Mentors are there to be admired and used as model for personal success. So I can say that a Mentor is someone I admire, who is where I want to be and has been where I am…it could be anything you want to succeed in…Things like effectiveness, health, relationship, finances, fashion sense, career, spirituality and so on.
