Mentors!
That's what we focused on this week; Having
mentors and learning how to find good ones. You always hear that you should
find mentors and coaches, people to look up to, examples. Over and over you
hear choose your friends wisely. but how often do we do that?
Every person around us determines who we are
going to become and who we can progress to be.
"If you’re the smartest one in the room, you’re
in the wrong room." And let me add, you need to get out of that room and
that house and look for a place where you're not the smart one.
Here’s my take always from this week’s readings
and lesson, No one grows from just staying in one place or with one group of
people, we must expand our horizons. I need to expand my horizons and be
careful of becoming entangled with people who bring me down or are highly
emotionally or mentally demanding. Because they will not get me to where I
want to be. I need to be surrounded by successful and intelligent people.
I need to learn how to organize my time and use it to the
best of my ability, so that one day when I have a family they can be my
priority.
I should make a priority list, as part of my code of
conduct, with family and God at the top.
One last thing, connected to those last few points, I need
to get out of my box. When I see someone that I want to talk to, when I hear of
a successful person I would like to get in touch with or learn more about, if I
have an opportunity I need to take it. There is no place for fear of ‘shyness’
in my life anymore. That’s what I have learned from my mentors this week.
Take a risk.
